  10. Tennessee Williams has made his play very similar to his life. Three things that were similar. Both Tom and Tennessee father was not present much in their lives, the similarity of Tom's sister nick name " Blue Roses" and Tennessee's sister's name was Rose. Lastly Both had mothers that were controlling but did it because she actually loved her kids.

  14. similarity is that both family had tons of problems, the father was not there for him. His relation to his father was horrible. sister was mentally ill and he use a form of escape to run away from his stress from both the movie and his life.
