Produktbeschreibung
This is the story of Maggie, in Tennessee Williams
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Since several different
versions of Maggie exist on page, stage and screen,
this essay investigates the step by step changes and
improvements in the shaping of one of the main
characters. The 1974 drama version of Maggie was
picked and analysed in details while the character
was then compared to her versions among them the one
in the famous 1958 film. This is done partly with the
help of the appropriate quotations. Through this work
a very profound insight can be gained into the
working method of the author, how he shaped and
formed the character of Maggie. It highlights how
Maggie s personality had to be altered in the film
and what were the reasons for that. The conclusion
emphasises how sympathetic she initially was and how
even more likeable she became in later versions. This
work may appeal to those interested in the working
process of a playwright, who love this play of
Williams and for anyone caring for literature.
