One word only: disturbing 😳


But a little bit more…, I don’t know what to make out of it. The story really caught me and made me angry and sad and depressed and made me feel impotent.

it's very intense, the themes and meanings within the play are really deep and symbolic of different aspects of society; it's also quite heavy in terms of some of the topics Williams included.

this book will stay forever with me, will reread a lot of times
really does showcase “the destructive power of society on the sensitive non-comformist individual” 

please do analyze it in depth, you won’t regret it. and look at literary analysis because this play is full of symbolism that is so interesting to explore
