What are Tom's, Laura's, & Amanda's obstacles (problems) and escapes in the Glass Menagerie? Act 1 - Scenes 1-3 alot of information please...

Tom's problem
was that he could not find himself, nor his place in society, was overall disillusioned with
life and his life prospects and he just had nothing in common with his mother and sister. He was
supposed to protect them and be the male figure of the family, but he certainly did not want to
play the part. His escapades were to go to the movies and idle a couple of hours away submerged
in fantasy and imagination.
