Tom Wingfield and Ethan Frome are both intellectual dreamers who live in stifling, hopeless conditions.

Just as Ethan never fulfills his dream of becoming an engineer, Tom is trapped in his job at a warehouse to support his family. Both of these characters desire a life that is more exciting and fulfilling than the one they currently have. The difference between Tom and Ethan is that while Ethan stays with Zeena in Starkfiled, Tom leaves his family in St. Louis. Ethan is a highly passive character, relying

This scenario relates to Gothic literature and Magical realism because it was a very surreal moment. These genres are similar because both genres blend reality and magical  moments in one. Gothic literature is a setting that begins with  bleak setting and has an ambiguous ending. Also it has a scary and mysterious feeling and makes you wonder what's going to happen next. It impacts the reader by putting intelligent words and a gloomy setting. A example of gothic literature is in the story “Where is here”. In the story “Where is Here” a stranger appears at the family's house and the family reacted with curiosity and concern(69). Magical Realism is a literary genre, therefore there is a realistic narrative and natural techniques, combine with surreal elements of dream or fantasy. Julio Cortazar’s “House Taken Over” is a good example of Magical Realism because both the brother and sister started to hear “noises” coming from a part of

Because she knows that Tom is not a strong man. In another word to say, Amanda is selfish and hypocrite.

When Tom introduces the characters in the play, he includes his father as one of them although clearly stating that he is not going to appear on stage. Tom also gives a brief description of his father, helping to establish a lasting impression on the audience after seeing the photograph which Williams has described to be “blown-up” and Tom describes as “larger-than life”. Mr. Wingfield is described by Tom as a “telephone man who fell in love with long distances”, “gave up his job with the telephone company and skipped the light fantastic out of town”. In addition to that, Tom provides us in his opening narration information about the postcard from his father containing the message of two words “Hello – Goodbye!” From Tom’s narration, we see the lasting effects of Mr. Wingfield’s abandonment on Tom.

Choices are the ability to do one thing or another, and these things could be good or evil. In John Milton’s Paradise Lost, God chooses to create everything good in the world which includes free-will for his creation. They now have the same ability to decide whether to do good or evil. Satan quickly demonstrates this ability by doing evil when he rallies some angels to fight with him against God. Satan vows revenge when God kicks him and the traitor angels out of Heaven. Satan’s sedition tempts God’s creation into mutinying against God. Both male and female do what is wrong. They put the forbidden fruit into their mouth and swallow it. In Paradise Lost by John Milton, the four main characters make a decision, to create, to destroy, or to rebel, and each are subject to the consequences of that choice.
