Ever since Tennessee Williams illustrated Amanda's and Blanche's helplessness under the influence of the past in The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire, many critics have dealt with the negative aspect of the past in his plays. However, we must not overlook the positive aspects of Williams' view of the past to understand his plays more completely. Williams projects the possibility of transforming the negative influence of the past into a creative source of self-knowledge, achieving harmony with time in The Rose Tattoo and The Night of the Iguana. Through the protagonists’ changing attitudes toward their past and the subsequent results, Williams clarifies that the influence of the past can be positive, as well as negative, depending on our attitudes toward it.
Serafina in The Rose Tattoo retreats from the present and indulges herself in the past world from the moment of her husband, Rosario's death. Similar to Serafina, Shannon in The Night of the Iguana has been obsessed by his childhood memory and comes to have a negative view of physical love, as well as, love of God. In addition, he does not accept his reality as a tour guide and clings to the past when he was a priest only to be a beaten and helpless person.
Although Serafina and Shannon have many similarities with Williams' past-oriented characters in the sense that they suffer from the negative burden of the past, they do not remain helplessly overwhelmed by the negative power of the past. As the play develops, Serafina and Shannon acquire a positive retrospection to their past in which they come to learn about their real past and its true relations with their present. In this process they are helped by Alvaro and Hannah, respectively.
In The Rose Tattoo and The Night of the Iguana, Williams clearly shows that obsession with the past isolates his characters from the real world but their positive retrospection brings forth some possibility of dealing with the haunting past and achieving an evolution of consciousness to go toward the future with love and hope. As Williams enables his characters to enter a harmonious state of life in tune with their changed attitude to the past, he celebrates the positive, progressive attitude to the past as something desirable. So it is clear that Williams' vision of the past is not negative but very positive and progressive.
