One of the representative plays by Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie shows Williams’ typical women characters who cannot confront with the real world and, as a result, withdraw into their own imaginary worlds. That is why they are called ‘fugitive’ characters. Beneath their helpless fugitiveness, there exists an irredeemable crevice between body and soul, the past and the present, the reality and the ideal, and so on. In this essay, I want to use the frame of a fairy tale in analysing their fugitive stories, and thereby gain an insight of understanding their calamity. In many ways, Amanda and Laura belong to the group of female characters in the fairy tales who helplessly wait for a Prince Charming to come and rescue them. The narrative tallies with Propp’s narratemes, which are a result of the Russian formalistic analysis of the Russian folk tales. The only difference is that Amanda’s and Laura’s tales don’t end with the happy ending: they lived happily ever after. Even though their situation can be quite controversial in a feministic point of view, still, their story of failure to consummate with Prince Charming and their image of incarceration in the glass menagerie underline Williams’ dramatic world filled with conflicts and anxieties.
