TENNESSEE WILLIAMS,[object Object]
T,[object Object],This was the famous birthplace of Tennessee Williams and now is the Columbus Welcome Center,[object Object]
Tennessee as a child, his mother, and sister Rose. ,[object Object],A rare  and peaceful time in their lives,[object Object]
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS,[object Object],was born Thomas Lanier Williams on March 26, 1911 to Cornelius and Edwina Williams.  We know him today as the great Tennessee Williams.  He was a master writer of plays which two of his most famous plays would eventually receive the Pulitzer Prize and eventually would be made into movies.  But behind this wonderful master mind was a very depressed and confused man. ,[object Object]
Tennessee struggled through out his life with his identity.  He knew that he was different and felt differently but he knew he was unable to express these feelings openly.,[object Object],As he grew older and began to attend college, which is where he got the nickname “Tennessee”,  his writings began to reflect his life. In 1938 he moved to New Orleans and officially took on the name Tennessee and began a new life as one of our great play writes . ,[object Object],The struggles of Tennessee Williams,[object Object]
Three of his most famous plays would go on to become successful movies.  Two of them would win the Pulitzer Prize.  He needed to reflect on his life and he did through these plays. He would show the world who Tennessee Williams really was and that he had finally accepted that he was gay. ,[object Object]
THE PLAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS ,[object Object]
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE,[object Object],Tennessee Williams complexity of sexual attraction between a man and a woman.  Here the aggressiveness of the characters and how they react are carefully portrayed in a manner to where she is sexually vulnerable and he is confidently strong.,[object Object]
A STREET CAR NAMED DESIRE,[object Object],Tennessee Williams always portrayed the man in a very masculine and domineering way. He aimed for the audience to see the manas the desirable one.  ,[object Object]
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE,[object Object],Tennessee was all about showing brutal violence in his plays and movies,[object Object]
The Glass Menagerie was a reflection of his life. He even named the main character Tom, which was short for his real name Thomas.,[object Object],THE GLASS MENAGERIE,[object Object]
The Glass Menagerie,[object Object],Laura entertains Jim O’Conner, the man that Tom set up for her while Tom and his mother clean up the kitchen.  She is showing Jim what is left of the unbroken glass figurines that Tom accidentally broke,[object Object],The Glass Menagerie,[object Object]
From “The Glass Menagerie” Amanda, who is the mother, is very overbearing and controlling and is watching Laura and Jim. At this moment she is upset with Tom because she just found out that Jim is already engaged.   Tennessee had many symbolic meanings behind his plays that reflected portions  of his personal life.  His own mother Edwina was a spoiled Southern Belle who was overbearing yet she was very nurturing.  She smothered Tennessee as a child.  This was most likely due to the Diphtheria that he contracted at a very young age.,[object Object]
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,[object Object],Tennessee Williams based this play solely in  the bedroom.  This was the movie that seemed to be based off his one true love, Frank Merlo,[object Object]
Maggie wanted so bad for Brick to love her and the only person he loved was now dead.,[object Object]
The life of Tennessee Williams and his many struggles to overcome his identity was not easy for him.  When he finally accepted who he was, he finally was at peace. For his writings and his plays, one of his directors said it great, “Everything in his life is in his plays, everything in his plays is in his life”.,[object Object],Tennessee Williams died unexpectedly in his New York residence on February 24, 1983.  ,[object Object]
