A review by mandalor3960
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

2.0

Interesting play with easy symbols and themes. No climax so the play felt very linear and mundane.

Rating Update 3/13/2019 - 3 to 2 stars. Because I find it boring now in hindsight. Definitely would not reread for fun but perhaps for curiosity.

Two stars to one star. To be on the safe side, I have rated this play one star. I find that the atmosphere was gloomy and I did not enjoy any character save for Tom. I cannot remember enjoying a lot from this play.

With the adoption of my new rating system, a two star rating is befitting. I recall that I did not enjoy this play to have rated it at three stars but I cannot recall if I disliked it enough to rate at one star. A two star rating is a safe estimate.

I recall disliking some aspects of the play; the mother's southern styled character and the daughter's attempted betrothal with Tom's friend. This is not enough to lower the rating to one star. The play remains a very low two star-rated play, impart to my lack of memory on it.

Presently, I dislike this book for its cramped setting and its useless plot. However, I cannot recall if I disliked this book when I originally finished it. A two star-rating is an appropriate rating.

Update
The biggest support for a two star-rating comes from the original review: "No climax so the play felt very linear and mundane". The linearity and mundanes to the play are considered two star-rating attributes, and may not necessarily mean disliking, which would mean a one star-rating.
