“In all respects-your eyes – your hair- are pretty!”(Williams
12830). This is a quote from Jim complementing Laura on her appearance. Laura has gone thought life thinking her
disability is worse than it really is.
She is very shy and not very self confident. Jim points this out in her and tries to cheer
her up. He says many complements to her
and tells her to be more self confident.
This does not totally fix her problem but it does show her problem. It also shows her that some one out side of
her family could like her. One of her
glass unicorns gets its horn broken of by Jim. This kind of symbolizes Laura
being more normal because it can now more easily fit in with the rest of her
glass horses. This scene is kind of deceiving
because it seems like Jim might be the one for Laura but it turns out in the
end that he already has a woman he loves.
And in the end of the play Tim also fallows his father’s path and leaves
the family after he loses his job. This is disheartening because it seems like
it could have a happy ending but then it does not once again like every other
work we read.
