In The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, identify three religious images.

In the previous scene of Williams's play, The
Glass Menagerie, when Tom informs his mother that he has found a "gentleman
caller," the stage directions read, "The annunciation is celebrated with
music." With this direction the suggestion of Laura as the Virgin Mary is
suggested since the Feast of the Annunciation is celebrated as the time that Mary was
told by the Angel Gabriel that she would bear a
child. 

1. In Scene 6, there are
   more religious words used in the stage directions.  For instance, as Laura stands in the
   middle of the parlor floor, her arms are lifted heavenward as her mother knees before
   her, adjusting the hem of a new dress, "devout and
   ritualistic."


2. As Laura and Jim
   sit on the sofa and converse, they reminisce about his role in The Pirates of
   Penzance, and Laura reveals to Jim that he attended the musical three times,
   the spiritual number of completion.  Further, as Laura relaxes with Jim, the stage
   directions again contain religious imagery:  "Jim ...smiles at
   Laura with a warmth and charm which lights her inwardly with
   altar
   candles."


3. Williams continues
   the images of altar and candles as Jim reveals that he has "strings on" him, he is
   engaged to a girl, like him, who is Irish Catholic.  As Laura struggles with the storm
   outside and within her, the stage directions this time read,
   "The holy candles in the altar of
   Laura's face have been snuffed out" as
   Laura's face has an air of "infinite desolation."  Then, symbolizes her further loss of
   Tom, Laura blows out the candles at the end of the play.  "She blows out the
   candles" just as the candles of the religious ceremony of the mass are
   extinguished when all is
   ended.
