"A unicorn, huh?-aren't they extinct in the modern world?"
The glass menagerie is symbol for Laura. Laura is an extremely shy person, and therefore delicate, like glass. She though, under the right circumstances, glows, meaning she has her own eccentric beauty. The symbol goes even further. Laura is the unicorn of the set. Unicorns are said to be "extinct in the modern world." This aptly represents Laura. Laura is withdrawn from the world. She does not fit in with society. She is unusual and lonely like a unicorn. She can't survive in the real world, just as a unicorn, a fictional animal, cannot survive in reality.
