Jim tells her that it wasn't noticed by most of the kids, but she made it much bigger than it really was. You can also see how shy she is by this next quote. "You answer the door mother!" This quote shows how shy that Laura is, that she will not even answer the door when Jim comes for dinner. Tennessee is unlike Laura in the aspect that he overcame his problems and Laura does not. She had a small disability years ago, that has healed, and she exaggerates it so much that her life is being held up. This example just shows you that you have to cope with your problems or they can hold you up from progressing in life.
In the next play, The Long Goodbye, there is one character who is obviously the supporter of the universal theme that you can always beat the odds and come out on top of your problems. This character is Joe. Joe's attitude in the beginning of the play is not looking very good at all. His attitude can be shown very well by this quote. "I just can't make any sense with my writings anymore." The word can't is the main word in this quote, because when you say you can't, that usually means I won't. Whenever you are trying to achieve a goal or a standard, the most negative word you can say is I can't. That is why Joe's attitude is looking so glum. Joe is not like Laura and didn't give up right away, and tried hard to get back up after he was knocked down. This is shown by what his sister says in this quote. "I knew you could do it Joe, and you did, because you didn't give up." .
This quote shows how, even though Joe was down he was not out. Another factor in Joe's ending success might be credited to his sister. Without his sister, he would have had no support, and without that he might have not been able to come through after he was down. Joe was like Williams, in that they both overcame serious problems and succeeded in achieving their goal. Williams rose above the bullies, because he did not lower himself to the bully's level and try to fight back.
