Personal-
This play showed a feeling that many people have experienced, even if they don't know it. Tom feels obligated to care for his sister and mother, even though he has dreams of traveling the world. Most people have a family member or friend who they feel they can not let down, and so they put their needs before their own. In real life, the results of this are usually very different from what happened in the play. Tom does eventually leave his family behind in search of himself. Most people spend their time taking care of this other person until they fade from their lives, at which point they have put their own wants off for so long, they no longer see a point in pursuing them. I also feel that if more people did as Tom, the world would be chaos. We all depend on people and we all have people who depend on us. It is a fact of life.
