One of the three greatest American dramatists of the 20th century and a talented playwright; the movie of the same name co-starring Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn is a classic of literary films; a crazy memory that cannot be removed by a scalpel, an ultimate shock of desire and disillusionment. This book is a one-act play created in 1957 by Tennessee Williams, the twentieth-century American drama master. It uses a large number of metaphors and hints to show the depravity of human nature and the oppression and control of love by greed in a modern society that flaunts scientific rationality. It premiered in 1958 and was later adapted for the screen, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn. The story takes place in New Orleans, USA, in 1936. In the name of funding medical research, a wealthy widow named Mrs. Venable asked doctors to perform a lobotomy on her niece Catherine. Regardless of whether the operation was successful or not, she begged the world not to believe the girl's nonsense. After contacting Catherine, the doctor discovered that her shocking words were not caused by a mental breakdown. Her so-called slander against her cousin - Mrs. Venable's son Sebastian, who died mysteriously on the Spanish coast last summer - was actually a woman's examination and accusation of the hypocrisy and cruelty in human nature in the name of love. As the truth is revealed. An umbilical cord used by an old mother to tie her precious son, a man entangled and suffocated by this umbilical cord, two women's unspeakable heart knots, and a strange and secret human struggle surfaced, revealing how the greedy jungle utilitarian law devours reason and kindness above the monetary interests of American southern society.

Williams' famous three-act play, first performed in December 1961. The play once again created the image of a homeless "fugitive clan". From the perspective of the tour guide Shannon - a weirdo in the eyes of everyone, a former priest who was stripped of his vestments - the whole world is the scope of his travels. He is not rigidly bound to the schedule in the brochure. He believes that as long as there are hearts that can be touched and emotions that can be felt, people should see as much of the lower society as possible everywhere. This fish, who dreams of swimming but is always intercepted and persecuted by sharks, has sympathy with a wandering female painter Hannah, who also advocates freedom and is despised. With Hannah's help, he fights his own demons, trying to break free like a trapped iguana about to be cooked by cutting a rope, crossing the dark corners of his nature, breaking down the barriers between people and making contact with each other.

One of the three greatest American dramatists of the 20th century and a genius playwright; Williams' classic work, the source of inspiration for Wong Kar-wai's "Days of Being Wild"; a footless bird looking for redemption in life. This book is a three-act play by Williams, first performed in 1957. Carrying a guitar, a snakeskin jacket and a body of hot and wild blood, mariachi Val arrives in a traditional southern town like a fox entering a henhouse. He and the soon-to-be-widowed candy store owner Lady-an Italian woman who almost broke her fingers trying to seize life-triggered each other, awakened their passions, and attempted to save each other from hell. However, love, the imaginary answer to life, fooled them again. On the night when the candy store was about to reopen sweetly, in a commotion that accumulated hatred, hatred, and jealousy, the man and woman who did not want to wither in the darkness were still chased by death. Williams transformed Orpheus, the charming god of poetry and music in Greek mythology, who was responsible for poetry and music, into the protagonist Val. He traveled to the American South in the 1950s due to a time and space displacement, and explored the relationship between love, desire and art, as shown in the introduction to this play. As written in , this work "functioned as a kind of emotional bridge, linking the early years of my life with my current existence as a playwright", allowing the playwright's heart scarred by jackdaws to be exposed without concealment.

The work focuses on the portrayal of Maggie, the young daughter-in-law who was born in poverty, who is as anxious and unremitting as a cat on a hot tin house because of her unsatisfied desires for love and money; and the heart-to-heart game between father and son, the eldest father and his younger son Brick, around "life is a deception", also shows the darkness and tearing of human nature. The play also won the author the Pulitzer Prize for the second time.
