Ïda Scott? This is Amanda Wingfield! We missed you at the D.A.R. last Monday! I said to myself: She's probably suffering with that sinus condition! How is the sinus condition?" (iii, 1245).
Holy cow, Amanda is getting annoying. The irony is dripping all over the pages of this scene. Amanda is trying SO hard to get a man for her daughter. She is simply going to extremes. Honestly, it is kind of insulting from Laura's perspective. Amanda is basically saying that Laura cannot find a man on her own that Amanda has to find a gentleman FOR her daughter. Why does Amanda obsess over this? If Laura is meant to find the guy she is meant to be with, God will make it happen. Also, Amanda did not even hold onto the husband that she had. He left her. Why, then, must she work so hard to find someone for her daughter? Shouldn't she be against the men in her life or something? That's not how I would be, but I'm just saying. Why does Amanda care so much? It's just getting ridiculous. Obviously, Laura is not going to find a guy when it is forced upon her. She is going to find a guy naturally and out of the blue. This is who Laura is. This is a reflection of her personality. I can only hope that all works well for her. Also, Scene 3 contains a phrase that alludes back to the title. Tom breaks Laura's "glass menagerie." I feel sympathy towards Laura. Her mom is being over-the-top with this whole gentleman caller business, she's crippled, and her brother just broke her glass menagerie. Poor Laura.....
