In connection with Williams' feelings vis-a-vis his sister's lobotomy, Jack Tamburri, writing in www.courttheatre.orgbelieves that the narrator in the Glass Menagerie (e.g., Williams) "...Spins a story of regret and abandonment [regarding Laura] that must have mirrored the guilt Williams felt over his own sister's situation."

CONCLUSION: The helplessness of Laura as she tries to get through the pain of her physical disability, her shyness, and the razor-sharp barbs thrown at her by Amanda, comes to life far more poignantly on stage than it does on the pages of a book. And indeed Williams wrote about that dynamic in his 1945 article, "How to Stage the Glass Menagerie" (Beattie, 2005).
"...Truth, life, or reality is an organic thing which the poetic imagination can represent or suggest, in essence, only through transformation, through changing into other forms than those which were merely present in appearance."
