What kind of play is this?

When evaluating the type of play this can be viewed as, I think many different ideas are possible. With the two major types being tragedy and comedy, The Glass Menagerie falls into both. It has aspects comedy, for the whole idea that Amanda is trying to seek a caller for her daughter who has quit school and this is her last alternative for being anything in like. In addition, it is filled with irony. The scene where the father's picture is lit up when they talk about being able to escape from a coffin. On the other hand, the play is a tragedy. Laura does not find a potential man to marry, and Tom ends up escaping from the house, following in the steps of his father. However, if I was FORCED to choose which one it is, I would have to say a comedy. After all the whole dynamics of the family is rather humorous.
