CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
3.1 Data Collecting Procedure
The first procedure is data collecting data. In this procedure, the library research is applied by searching and collecting the references that contain and
support the topics from the library and any other places. In this first procedure, Tennessee Williams’ play The Glass Menagerie is
used as the main source of the data. The play is read many times to get full understanding about the content of the play. In addition to that, other suitable
references, such as The American Tradition in Literature books that discuss about Tennessee Williams’s literary works and the whole biography of Tennessee
Williams, books or articles that talk about gender, are also collected to support the analysis of this thesis.

3.3 Data Analyzing Procedure
The last procedure is analyzing the data. Since I apply analytical descriptive method, I analyze the data by describing all the selected data that is
continued with analyzing then giving the sufficient understanding. In Teori, Metode, dan Teknik Penelitian
Sastra dari Strukturalisme Hingga Prostrukturalisme Perspektif Wacana Naratif 2004:53, Kutha Ratna states that:
Metode deskriptif analitik dilakukan dengan cara mendeskripsikan fakta-fakta yang kemudian disusul dengan analisis. Secara Etimologis
deskripsi dan analisis berarti menguraikan. Meskipun demikian, analisis yang berasal dari bahasa Yunani, analyein ‘ana’ = atas,
‘lyein’ = lepas, urai, telah diberikan arti tambahan, tidak semata- mata menguraikan, melainkan juga memberikan pemahaman dan
penjelasan secukup-cukupnya. Therefore, this last procedure is the process of describing the collected
data and analyzing them. The data are including the significant things which deal with gender inequality in Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Manegerie, such as
how women are treated differently than men as well as how women don’t have the same opportunities than men.
Since this thesis uses expressive theory that shows the play is the result of the playwright’s imagination and experience, finally the collected data from the
play will be analyzed clearly. This is intended to make the conclusions of the analysis.
