Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

‘Cat on a Hot tin roof'by Tennessee Williams was very interesting, and a fast read [if you really get into it]. The storyline shows a typical southern family in the 1950's. A tyrannical father who might be dying, his wife, an overbearing, overprotective house wife. There son Brick, the protagonists, who gets injured and throws his life away with alcohol and his wife, a woman who Brick doesn't even love. There other son and his family are money smooching sycophants who clearly show no ‘real love' for their family. Its a good book because we really get to follow the relationship that Brick has with each member of the family ever since he became an alcoholic. And the death of a friend who probably was gay just causes more outbursts between the father and himself. You will be able to see the clear differences between their time and ours and how Williams does a great job by digging deep into a typical white southern household during times of segregation and intolerance of alot of things.
