This great play written by Tennessee Williams explores the careful nature of a family dynamic and human need for love. This play uses symbolism to convey what inner struggles the characters have and themes of the play. The title is a representation of of discomfort and tension and this is reinforced when Maggie describes Brick as "to be sitting on a hot tin roof." The quote symbolizes the relational pressure he feels and the instability of their marriage. I would end this play and reinforce the idea that Brick has begun to acknowledge Maggie as his love.
