the glass menagerie
For this essay you will be using 3 sources: the play The Glass Menagerie, 1 TV show of your
choosing (better to choose 1 episode than a whole series), and one movie of your choosing. Here are the
instructions to help organize your essay:
Begin your essay with a single introductory paragraph. Introduce your 3 sources. Using the drama
vocabulary sheet, define which type of drama each story is (ex: tragedy, comedy, farce)
Then, for each of your sources (play, tv show, movie) please do the following:
Discuss the basic plot of the story. Describe what scenes help to make up the entire act or whole
story
Discuss the characters using the vocabulary from our fiction unit (ex: round, flat, dynamic, static,
sympathetic, stock)
Using specific examples (quotations) from the stories, describe several ways in which the characters speak
and interact (ex: dialogue, monologue, soliloquy, aside, improvisation, epilogue)
Describe the setting and atmosphere of each story the location, the scenery, the props used
Describe the music used in each type of story and what emotions it creates in the listener/viewer
Describe the use of symbolism or deeper meaning used in each story
End your essay with a single conclusion paragraph where you describe the major theme or message of
each story.
