Protagonist X Antagonist

Are you going to read the book? If yes, you will have different view than I have, so don't kill me, because I have my own opinion.

Protagonist Brick versus antigonist Maggie

The reticent protagonist Brick, struggles with alcoholism, the loss of his best frind, the loss of his own young life and unsatisfied marriage. Brick is mentally devastated over the suicide of his frined Skipper, who killed himself after he tried to discuss his opinions, feelings and orientation. While talking to his dad, he find source of his angst and after that he learns abouth self-forgiveness and acceptance.

Maggie "Cat" represents the most headstrong character in a play. She experiences adversity from her husband and also from her whole life. She is strong and instead of verging on insanity she struggle for better life. She is the faithful wife who gets her husband back to their marriage.

HOW DO THEY PLAY OF EACH OTHER?

From the begining it is obvious that Brick doesn't want Maggie. He is ignoring her. While they are talking he answeres in short senteces.
Example: 
Maggie: Well, I was conscios of it! What were you thinking of?
Brick: "I don't remember thinking of anything, Maggie.
Maggie: " Don't you think I know that--?"....
Brick: " Know what, Maggie?"
Maggie: " That I'Vve gone through this--bideous!--transfromation, become --hard! Frantic! That's what you've been observing in me lately. How could y' help but observe it? ....
Brick: Did you say something?

Maggie: " Living with someone you love can be lonelier---than living entirely alone!---if the one that y' love doesn't love you....."
Brick: "Would you like to live alone, Maggie?"
Maggie: "No!--God!--I wouldn't!" "Did you have a nice shower?"
Brick: "Uh-huh"
Maggie: "Was the water cool?"
Brick: No.

Why do they have a relationship like unknown? Why do they play off each other like cat and dog? In my opinion they are missing the support from each other, they are not talking and Brick doesn't believe her. Because of this, Brick plays the strong man without feelings, but I don't believe him! There are some scenes at which I regognized that he loves her.

Maggies plays of very annoying wife who is seducing Big Daddy and Brick, because she knows she is hot.


PROTAGONIST BRICK+MAGGIE VERSUS ANTIGONIST GOOPER+MAE

These two pairs are reverse each other. Brick and Maggie are those without children, without trust, but without falsehood. Gooper and Mae are "family" with children and they are liars. Mae is playing off Maggie with annoying and tiresome questions. She is eavesdroping every conversation in a house that may help her in gaining the property of Big Daddy. Mae informs Big Mamma in presumption that it will help her. She play of every single person in the house! In the end her husband yells on her.
