Cat on the Hot Tin Roof is about rich family. Big Daddy is the boss, but his son Brick thinks he does not have any feeling and never ever love him.
But how can a writer as T.Williams write this play? Who influenced him? HIS LIFE,HIS FAMILY! His father was an international shoe salesman, but also heavy drinker and smoker. Because of that he spends lot of his time with his sister and grandmother. He misses the strong "father hand".
Tennessee studied at different universities, but all he wanted to do there was writing. It was the escape from the outside world for him. At University of Iowa he received his nickname "Tennessee", because everybody knows that he is from south."It's better than being called Mississippi," he joked. His plays follow what he calls the "memory play" format.
" He spent most of his time closing his eyes. He could see wonderful, magnificent scenes in his mind." Anonymous critic.
Do you know that he wrote 38 plays, 9 fiction, 3 poetry and 8 other works? Let me think, you don't know any of his plays, but that's why I'm here!
He seems like an interesting character in himself, so far. Do you think any of he used himself as the basis of any of his characters?
OdpovědětVymazatYes, it can be Brick in that play :) But I have to find out more about T.W life ( I think he doesn't know his dad too that means he was missin love from him as Brick in the Cat on a hot tin roof)
