Laura Wingfield

Laura Wingfield is, in many ways, the pivotal character of the hornswoggle. She is the central witness upon which the thematic nuances of fragility and misconception play let on. In fact, Laura is the character about which entirely the characters possess some misconception. On the whole, this misconception revolves around her perceived weakness, a theory everyone adopts and fails to question even in her moments of will. Hence, her reputation as weak becomes to a greater extent a taxing factor than any actual weakness of her own.throughout the play, Laura comes from symbolize the fragility of the glassful menagerie, and yet her character reveals itself to be slight of the transparent and delicate (at least in terms of breaking), and more of the brawny and compassionate. She cries over her br opposites unhappiness, holds fast to her love for Jim, and walked for hours in the nippy to avoid typing score in her younger years.Still, however, characters misjudge her. Amanda, her m other, thinks she tush relive her youth vicariously through Laura. Tom and Jim maintain a notion of her as some exotic bird, or perhaps the glass unicorn she possesses.Perhaps the most striking detail illustrating misconception of her is apparent in her moniker, unrelenting roses. Infatuated with Jim in high school, she explains a prolonged absence from class as owing to pleurosis. He mistakes the name of the disease for blue roses, which becomes his knight for her.Laura has the least lines of the play, only furthering her image as a selfless and single out character. She stands in dramatic contrast to the selfishness of the rest of her family, who seem to play out their psychological imperatives almost entirely unconscious of their effect on other people. The fact that Laura does not participate in the inequities of the other characters, sets her apart. She remains the plays most enigmatical figure.
