The 'Cat On a Hot Tin Roof' is a classic play by Tennessee Williams. It is his fifth play to reach the screen and it speaks of Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy owner of Mississippi plantations, who is alcoholic and unaware of the fact that he is dying of cancer. His hopeless wife tries to stop him from drinking but unsuccessfully.
A significant theme in this play is the manliness and homosexuality. This is represented in the title. Brick is considered the "Cat", a broken man, and Cat concerns itself with the elaboration of shattered manliness. Bricks fell in love with an individual named Skipper but this love is unable to be discussed neither satisfied.
I recommend this book to anybody who enjoys emotional yet interesting genres.
