Tennessee Williams Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

The plays were exceptional and both have an underlying theme of wanting to escape. Williams plays portrays characters wishing for an escape from reality. The characters also filled with a great deal of loneliness. He was able to make a fictional settings seem so realistic and add on to the tone of the pieces. Tennessee Williams was an exceptional American writer who at the time was able to earn criticism and praise for exploring themes of sexuality that no one at the time really would. He earned the Pulitzer prize for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. From feeling exiled due to his sexualty Williams was able to pour his feelings into characters that resemble him. The plays that I have read of him are filled with autobiographical references of himself.
