“Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose”

THEMES: 

1,Manliness vs homosexuality

ManXGay 

Brick, he is strong, perfect man. He is married to CAT, the symbol of "broken manliness". He is the favourite son, the muscular guy, sportman. Why do the author choose the name Brick? "brick"-is strong building material, is that a symbol for his character? Brick is an alcoholic who cannot avow the desire in his relationship with his best frind Skipper. Because of it, he keep distanced from the world around him and his best friend became alcohol. For Maggie it is hard, because she cannot speak about Skipper. The only person who force him to talk about the real truth about Skipper is Big Daddy. THIS IS THE RESPECT!

2,THE LIE

The total play is about lying, about mendacity, about vileness. The doctors are lying about the health of Big Daddy. Brick is using the "lies and liars" for the society he lives in. The idyllic fantasy of lovely family restored in the end of the book, however it is another lie, because Maggie invention of a coming baby is a LIE! Brick and Big Daddy are same, both of them pretend their love to their wifes! 

'Man's Fate': that he has it still in his power not to squeal like a pig but to keep a tight mouth about it."

3, THE CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF

The cat is a symbol for mendacity women, for women with two faces, but it is also the feminine desire. T. Williams uses typical hysterical, dissatisfies woman in his plays to prostrate themselves with typical "women" style. Maggie is the cat because she feel lonely and this made her bitter and anxious. T.Williams makes the audience think about each character, but Maggie creat mysterious atmosphere. I see all women who are in the same situation like she is thinking and wondering about the life.
