"I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really"

Tennessee Williams is recommending that those who appear to be weak and delicate on the exterior are really the strongest people. He thinks that it is simpler to identify with characters who are terrified of life and desperate to get in touch with another person. He is suggesting that these characters, who are typically viewed as weak, are in fact the strongest due to the fact that they are brave enough to challenge their worries and reach out to others. Williams is suggesting that strength is not constantly noticeable which it is often found in those who are having a hard time one of the most. He is encouraging us to look beyond the surface area and recognize the strength of those who are struggling.
