There is a reason this play is considered a classic. In Williams's play there are no heros or villains. There are only people who are acting in response to their circumstances. In the end, your heart feels for everyone as each character has hurt another and been hurt by another. That is the power of this work, the characters feel so real because in my reality no one is perfect and we have all hurt each other in different ways.
