    Laura’s Monologue from The Glass Menagerie


    To who: Amanda, my mom
    Objective: I want to assure my mom that I’m not an unusual girl, I just have different
    dreams than she does.
    Obstacle: My mother does not understand why I liked him.
    Urgency: If I don’t assure my mom, then she will keep making me go to business
    school, so I can get gentlemen callers.

    [BEAT]
    I liked one once. [to reclaim]
    I came across his picture a while ago. [to prove]
    His name was Jim. [to paint]
    Here he is in The Pirates of Penzance, the operetta the senior class put on. [to
    bewitch]
    He had a wonderful voice and we sat across the aisle from each other Mondays,
    Wednesdays and Fridays in the Aud. [to fan]
    Here he is with the silver cup for debating! [to excite]
    See his grin? [to entrap]
    He used to call me – Blue Roses. [to pull]
    When I had that attack of pleurosis – he asked me what was the matter when I came
    back. [to redirect]
    I said pleurosis – he thought that I said Blue Roses! [to jolly]
    So, that’s what he always called me after that. [to nourish]
    Whenever he saw me, he’d holler, “Hello, Blue Roses!” [to rally]
    [BEAT]
    Obj: I want my mom to realize that Jim will not be my suitor.
    Obs: She has very high dreams that I will have callers like she did.
    Urg: If I don’t get her to give up this dream, I will continue to be put in very
    uncomfortable situations.
    I didn’t care for the girl that he went out with, Emily Meisenbach. [to provoke]
    Emily was the best-dressed girl at Soldan. [to discourage]
    She never struck me, though, as being sincere… [to decipher]
    It says in the Personal Section – they’re engaged. [to bait]
    That’s - six years ago! [to operate]
    They must be married by now. [to finalize]
