“The Longest Distance Between Two Places” in Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” symbolizes the emotional and psychological chasm between characters. As Tom, Amanda, and Laura navigate their relationships, physical and emotional barriers arise, separating them and hindering true connection. The play explores the profound impact of these distances, revealing the fragility of self-esteem, the power of memory, and the desperate yearning to break free from the confines of the human condition.
