"I'm like my father. The bastard son of a bastard!"
(Tom, The Glass Menagerie, pg. 1269)
Oh my says it all. I am extremely shocked right now because I thought Tom was this upstanding citizen who, no matter what, would stand by his family. Wrongo! Can I blame him? Not entirely. I'm sure his life is very stressful, being the sole provider of the family and forced to live in such rough conditions. That being said, people should almost never leave their families in the dust. Can you say rude? Because I can definately type it. Rude. I haven't finished the play yet, but when I do, I (and Tom) had better hope that he doesn't ditch his family for some unattainable dream. After all, I have pepper spray.
