Often perceived as a play about love, marriage, and Southern Society, Tennessee Williams' drama "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" goes far beyond both the family portrait and the regional setting. It touches upon the myth of the American family--and subtlely undermines the commonly held notions of what "family" is and what values it is based on. Revealing how the Pollitt family's lives are based on secrets and lies, Williams questions the role of marriage and children as constituing social prestige and personal happiness. It is not only Maggie but society as a whole that appears as a "cat on a hot tin roof"--the roof on the house of social mendacity that pays more attention to its shining facade of publicly displayed "family values" than its emotionally troubled inhabitants.

Tennessee William's absolute masterhood over the subtlety and obviousness of family interaction, the constant hurt and desperation that catches the reader in a way never equalled, is what makes this play so real, so close and so timeless.
This edition contains both the original and the Broadway version of the ending, which is very interesting, though it may be confusing for a first-time reader.

Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize winning play "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is a reverie filled drama of lust, greed, and death that puts emphasis on the interaction of families. Williams creates universal characters that are pathetic yet familiar and therefore warrant the reader's sympathy. He writes with such deceptive simplicity that he masks his characters's inner turmoil initially, making the turnout of such characterizations intriguing. The play presents that humanity isn't beautiful while attempting to shed light on the emotional lies that govern the interaction of families. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"'s intertwining themes of the lie of life and the deception of death provide the reader with insight towards the amblivalence of life.
To say so much within such a short piece is a mystery within itself. The sheer power of the plot is testimony of Williams's genius. The play is beautifully constructed and hits upon many themes and emotions with clarity and precision, making it an enjoyable read while having substance. I did an analysis of this book for my junior Reading class, and recommend the read to anyone seeking high drama and a well rounded take on death.

Awful!
Pointless, with annoying characters. The one character I did like, Maggie, was completely WASTED! Williams did nothing with her, which was a sin since she's a great character. Lesen Sie weiter...

Psychosexual subtext within the subtext
What most seem to miss about this work is the subtext placed by Williams on the psychosexual drama at work not between Brick and Maggie, which is obvious, but between Brick and Big... Lesen Sie weiter...
