Read this excerpt from Scene 6 of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.

AMANDA: …So lovely, that country in May.—All lacy with dogwood, literally flooded with jonquils!—That was the spring I had the craze for jonquils. Jonquils became an absolute obsession. Mother said, 'Honey, there's no more room for jonquils.' And still I kept on bringing in more jonquils. Whenever, wherever I saw them, I'd say, "Stop! Stop! I see jonquils! I made the young men help me gather the jonquils! It was a joke, Amanda and her jonquils! Finally there were no more vases to hold them, every available space was filled with jonquils.

What do Amanda’s jonquils symbolize in the play?

A They suggest that Amanda was once very charming and persuasive with men.

B. They show Amanda’s defiance against her mother when she was young.

C. They represent Amanda’s youth and her disconnection from her current reality.

D. They indicate that Amanda has a difficult time with self-control.

Answer:

They represent Amanda’s youth and her disconnection from her current reality.
