menagerie meaning

Quotations: Stephen Rupsch – Williams offered a different kind of drama at the time of its first production in 1945. The American theatre had already experienced a boom in social realism. However, ‘The Glass Menagerie’ brought realism with poetry and combined different theatrical elements that touch on expressionism and symbolism.

Kynsie Kiggins – ‘The Glass Menagerie’ is kind of a theatre staple. Every year, there’s somebody across the country performing it. ‘For Whom the Southern Bell Tolls’ is funny no matter what, but for those who have seen ‘The Glass Menagerie,’ it’s even funnier.

Dean Young – God bless my daddy, he was the genius who created this wonderful menagerie of characters. A monkey could do my job with the characters I have to work with. He left me this cast of characters and this dominant gene.

Ralph Waldo Emerson – An expense of ends to means is fate; Morganization tyrannizing over character. The menagerie, or forms and powers of the spine, is a book of fate: the bill of the bird, the skull of the snake, determines tyrannically its limits.

Ralph Waldo Emerson – The hardiest skeptic who has seen a horse broken, a pointer trained, or has visited a menagerie or the exhibition of the Industrious Fleas, will not deny the validity of education. “A boy,” says Plato, “is the most vicious of all beasts;” and in the same spirit the old English poet Gascoigne says, “A boy is better unborn than untaught.”

Henry David Thoreau – This universal exhibition in Canada of the tools and sinews of war reminded me of the keeper of a menagerie showing his animals’ c laws. It was the English leopard showing his claws.

Elizabeth Smart – I am over-run, jungled in my bed, I am infested with a menagerie of desires: my heart is eaten by a dove, a cat scrambles in the cave of my sex, hounds in my bed obey a whip master who cries nothing but havoc as the hours test my endurance with an accumulation of tortures. Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?
