Abstract: Tennessee Williams was one of the three great American dramatists of the 20th century. The Glass Menagerie, which was produced in Chicago in 1994, took him from obscurity to fame. There are many ways to interpret the characters in The Glass Menagerie. This paper analyzes the personality structure of Laura from Jung's persona theory, and deeply reveals the reasons for the formation of the characters, so that readers can deepen their understanding of the text and the characters and reveal the complexity of the human spiritual world.

Keywords: Carl Jung, Laura, Personality, Persona theory, The Glass Menagerie
