In the first of the three plays, The Glass Menagerie,

In the last play, Suddenly Last Summer, Mrs. Venable is the one that has to conquer her problems. The main problem that Mrs. Venable has to cope with is the death of her son, Sebastian. She is looking for someone to blame and the person she thinks of is Catherine, Sebastian's fiancée. "She is responsible for Sebastian's death!" Instead of coping with the loss of her son like an adult, she is trying to blame it on someone to sooth her wounds. Not only is she trying to blame someone who is innocent, it is someone who her son loved and who loved her son. Her son would be very disappointed if he knew what was going on with his mother and fiancée. Along with blaming Catherine for her loss, Mrs. Venable was trying to have a special operation on Catherine to make her not be mentally ill, even though she really isn't. Mrs. Venable is rich and said that Catherine was disturbed so everyone agreed with her. The surgery is very risky also, but that does not seem to bother Mrs. Venable at all, she just wants to have someone pay for her son's death. You find out how risky the procedure is by the way the doctor talks about it: "My work is such a new and radical thing, that people are scared to fund it.") When the doctor says that people are scared of the operation, that shows how risky it is. That shows how much revenge that Mrs. Venable is seeking, and how she does not care who she hurts as long as she believes that she will be happier. Mrs. Venable is much like Laura, in that neither of them could overcome their obstacles in life. Tennessee Williams is a direct contrast from Mrs. Venable. When Williams was being picked on he did not seek revenge, or retaliation, on the other hand Mrs. Venable did. When she found out that her son had died, she wanted someone to blame and suffer for her loss, because she could not just handle the fact that his death was an accident. Mrs. Venable is a bad representation for someone that is trying to cope with her problems logically. Not only is she hurting herself, she is affecting the lives of others as well.

The three main characters in the plays, Laura, Joe, and Mrs. Venable, all have a relation to Tennessee Williams' life. When Tennessee was younger, there was a group of bullies that made fun of Williams, because he did not act like all of the other kids. When he was made fun of, he acted very maturely, he just ignored them. It also helped that he could always resort to his writings to
