"Tennessee Williams wrote some of America's most famous plays. His life was riddled with obscurity and pain. He had an absent father, an eccentric mother, and a mentally ill sister. Tennessee used his writing as a form of escape and reflection of his life. Two of his most famous plays, "The Glass Menagerie" and "A Streetcar Named Desire", are perfect examples of his literary talents and use of incorporating his own life into his scripts."
