Question

Which line from The Glass Menagerie leaves matters uncertain about Tom for readers

AMANDA:”It seems extremely peculiar that you wouldn’t know your best friend was going to be married!”

TOM: “for sixty-five dollars a month I give up all that I dream of doing and being ever! And you say self- selfs all I ever think of.”

TOM: All right, I will! The more you shout about my selfishness to me the quicker I’ll go, and I won’t go to the movies!”

TOM:”First it turned to wine and then it turned to beer and then it turned to whisky. I knew it was whisky it finally turned into because he needed somebody to come up out of the audience to help him, and I came-both shows!”

Answer 1

Answer:

TOM: All right, I will! The more you shout about my selfishness to me the quicker I’ll go, and I won’t go to the movies!”

Explanation:

The question is vague here because it doesn't ask exactly what is uncertain about Tom, although it can be inferred.
I read the book not too long ago and took a unit test on it. This was the correct answer. What could be uncertain about Tom in this line is that he's restless, and readers could be left "uncertain" whether he will stay with his family or leave them.

Answer 2

The line from The Glass Menagerie that leaves matters uncertain about Tom for readers is "TOM: All right, I will! The more you shout about my selfishness to me the quicker I’ll go, and I won’t go to the movies!”.

What is the theme of The Glass Menagerie?

The characters' trouble accepting and reacting to reality is the most important and pressing theme of The Glass Menagerie.

Amanda charges Tom with being egotistical. Tom threatens to flee as his father did in an effort to vent his rage by using his cruelest emotional tool. When he says the abovementioned line, the readers feel uncertain regarding whether he will actually leave his crippled sister and mother alone or he is only threatening them.

Thus, the correct option is C that "TOM: All right, I will! The more you shout about my selfishness to me the quicker I’ll go, and I won’t go to the movies!”.
