Blue roses are nonexistent flowers which are used in poetry to represent uniqueness, a perfect symbol for Laura. Undeniably, Amanda is a woman that regrets the choices she made in her life, and it has led her to her current state, failure, and the loss of hope. However, Amanda sells a picture that shows the complete opposite of who she really is, and her children are accounted for this as well. At an early age,
Amanda was this successful and wealthy woman that had relationships to more men in one day, than what a normal woman would have in her lifetime. But in the end, her living paradise came to an end. She ended up in an apartment, depending on her son’s income to live, and with broken dreams. But in her mind, she still believes that she is wealthy. So
Amanda symbolises a woman that had many chances of success but all vanished.

Blue Mountain days, harsh lighting was used to show Amanda’s cruelty because it was ironic that the dinner they were going to have with Laura’s ‘future husband’ she was dressed this nice even though the point of the dinner was for Laura to get a husband to step out of her comfort zone and become a grown woman, which has been Amanda’s dream for so long. So at the end of the day, lighting was very important because it makes the audience hate Amanda because of her selfishness.
All in all, there are countless dramatic techniques in The Glass Menagerie which took years of mine to develop, and if you ever accept my proposal, I will be delighted to work with you to recreate and arrange The Glass Menagerie in an even more meaningful way with your help to create discussion.
