Tennessee Williams was an American 20th-century Southern dramatist. The Glass Menagerie and The Night of Iguana are two of his well-known plays, which explore how people can find help and hope in the illusion of life in order to return to reality and regain freedom. Based on the theory of intertextuality, this paper explores the themes of escape and salvation between the two plays to reveal the intrinsic connection between them.
