Cat on a Hot Tin Roof starts like it ends, with drama. It is set on a plantation in Mississippi and there is never a dull moment on the plantation. Every single character has their own distinct personality that makes the reading of this play an exciting time. Although the personalities are fun to read about, the difference in personalities creates drama in the house. The story is centered around the Pollitt family as members of the family try to convince Big Daddy to leave them the plantation when

Facts concerning people are limited and “confusing”, appearing like elucidations of date to outsiders; mere opinion to observers. In considering the labels associated to the widow in ‘Three Players of a Simmer Game’ (the story reworked in ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’) the author remarks that “only the outside of one person’s [world’s] visible to others…all opinions are false…especially public opinions of individual cases.” I feel Williams’ dismissal of “public opinions” of individuals would enrage those shocked

story in which a young girl Dorothy and her dog, Toto go on a magical journey from the dull, gray land of Kansas to the colorful, magical land of Oz. This girl and her dog meet three companions, a Cowardly Lion, a Brainless Scarecrow, and a Heartless Tin Man and have adventure in the Land of Oz and untimely help Dorothy get home. In Baum’s allegorical The Wonderful Wizard of Oz he uses satire and symbols, such as the regions of Oz, the characters of Oz and the Witches of Oz as to represent the Populist

sending her into an alternate reality from which she must figure out how to return home. The story proves itself to be pretty trippy like many epics and sacred texts of ancient religions, as it involves munchkins, haunted forests, flying monkeys, a tin man, and a yellow brick road. But imagine The Wizard Of Oz as having a religious twist--not hard to picture, as there are many parallels in the film that can easily relate to those found in ancient southeastern Asian religions. As she is a benevolent

characters slowly gain what they originally set out to acquire throughout their journey, rather than at their destination. Although the journey seems as easy as following the yellow brick road, there are many obstacles the characters; the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion, must face throughout this novel. Through stages along their journey, the characters are all thrown into pivotal positions that they do not realize the importance of. In turn, this results in a drastic development of their

This journey begins with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, (computer) sending Dorothy, an Oz adventurist, (pulse) on a quest to find the Wizard of Oz. Many people throughout the Land of Oz have been reporting to Glinda that the Great and Powerful Oz is missing. Because Glinda is tasked with the safe keeping of Munchkin Land (transducer) she is unable to travel to the Emerald City and check on the Wizard herself. Glinda summons Dorothy (pulse creation in computer) to Munchkin Land where she is

Oz An individual can claim to be ethical, but validation requires consistently commendable action. This assertion connects to L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which he follows the journey and maturation of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Lion as they travel the Land of Oz pursuing objects and virtues they already possess. When a cyclone carries Dorothy and her dog Toto to an alternate universe in which unusual objects can speak, Dorothy partners with the aforementioned

lack of self-confidence? There is a simple answer to this question, and it can be found in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Baum through the use of 3 characters portrays the lack of self-confidence. Baum uses the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Lion prove that a person/character’s own strengths go un-noticed by him/her. The way to reach these strengths would be through self-confidence. The 85% of the world’s population with a lack of self-confidence do not realize that

For many generations, adults and children alike have relished L. Frank Baum’s cleverly written bedtime story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. On the surface, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz seems like an innocent fairy-tale that was written “solely to pleasure children today” ; however a deeper look into the main characters and symbolism inherent in the story, suggest an outlook into the Gilded Age. Many historians, beginning with Henry Littlefield, have interpreted The Wizard of Oz as being an allegory to

characters to represent a greater idea, is present for all people on a situational basis through common occurrences. In literature, authors use common objects to convey a true, deeper meaning. (rings=marriage, heart=love, darkness=evil etc) In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams, symbolism is utilized in order to convey the messages of the play in a more impactful way. Brick’s alcohol addiction symbolizes his refusal to cope with grief, Brick’s crutch symbolizes a defense mechanism, and the bed symbolizes
