الملخص الإنجليزي

The current study applies Freud’s defense mechanisms to Tennessee Williams’s play The Glass Menagerie.

Although the play has been discussed by many studies, this study is different in that it concentrates on a subject that has not received due attention in previous studies.

This theme is concerned with the use of Freud’s defense mechanism in The Glass Menagerie.A more in-depth study of this theme would hopefully provide a more comprehensible understanding of the play.

The thesis examines the psychological factors that determine the behaviors of the characters in The Glass Menagerie.

It focuses on the analysis of the types of personalities (id, ego, and superego), the types of minds (preconscious, conscious, and unconscious) in general and on defense mechanisms in particular.

The study attempts interpretations of the characters’ behaviors in light ofFreud’s defense mechanisms.

It shows that all of the characters make use of different sorts of defense mechanisms.

Furthermore, the thesis clarifies the relationship between the play and its author’s life.

It asserts that the play The Glass Menagerie is an autobiographical play.

It reflects the life of its author.

The thesis psychoanalyzes the character’s behaviors, and the author’s life.
