His mentally -disturbed sister, Rose, like Laura Wingfield, found solace in her collection of tiny glass ornaments. His mother clung. to memories of the past and urged him to bring home "gentlemen callers", as does Amanda Wingfield, Thus, the characters in The Glass Men- agerie live in fantasy worlds, unable to come to terms ' with reality, and are presented as memories of Tennessee Williams' own The opening night audience became caught up in the drama before them, They. would laugh at the comic elements -- Tom s,: imitation of his mother's "Rise and Shine" which reeted him each morning,•and' Amanda's excitement at the announcement of the coming of a ''gentleman caller" -- but t afterwards seemed apologetic for their laughter as they realized the plight of the: characters.
