The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

Even though there are several portraits of the clergy in Williams' later works, none seemed to be built on the personality of his real grandfather. His maternal grandfather was an Episcopal rector, apparently a rather liberal and progressive individual. Instead, he read profusely in his grandfather's library. Tennessee was himself a rather delicate child who was plagued with several serious childhood diseases which kept him from attending regular school.

In contrast to his father, his mother seemed to be rather quiet and possessive, demonstrating a tremendous attachment to her children. His father was a loud, outgoing, hard-drinking, boisterous man who bordered on the vulgar, at least as far as the young, sensitive Tennessee Williams was concerned. Because his father was a traveling salesman and was often away from home, he lived the first ten years of his life in his maternal grandparents' home. Tennessee Williams was born Thomas Lanier Williams in Columbus, Mississippi. Thus, his life is utilized over and over again in the creation of his dramas. He uses his experiences so as to universalize them through the means of the stage.
