Lena: Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode from BeFreed-Eli and I are absolutely thrilled to dive into something really special today.
Eli: Oh, we definitely are! You know, Lena, when I think about plays that just stay with you long after the curtain falls, Tennessee Williams' *The Glass Menagerie* is right at the top of that list. And what makes it so haunting isn't just the story-it's how Williams uses symbols to create this whole world of meaning beneath the surface.
Lena: Exactly! I mean, we're talking about a playwright who once said that symbols weren't just ornaments to his work-they were the only satisfactory means of expressing himself as an artist. That's pretty powerful stuff, right?
