Cat on a hot tin roof revision 29th AprilTruth and Illusion
- Big Daddy’s cancer “Nothing but a spastic colon” – “Big Daddy’s dying of cancer”
Brick and Maggie
Verb
- “What’s the victory of a Cat on a hot tin roof. Just staying on it I guess”
> Maggie compares herself to a cat on a hot tin roof in her relationship with Brick, she is
clinging onto their relationship
Verb phrase
Simple declarative
- “We’re not living together. We occupy the same cage”
Trapped in the house/relationship together, it’s no longer a relationship of love, they are
just stuck together now. Maggie can’t bring herself to leave Brick because she loves him but
also wants children and is feeling the societal pressure put upon women for her to have a
family, even though she doesn’t really want children. “No neck monsters” shows her lack of
maternal instincts.
Verb phrase
- “How in the hell do you expect to have a child with a man who can’t stand you”
Brick admits to hating Maggie, shows how their relationship is purely being forced out of the
purpose of having children.
