Laura is a very sympathetic character, first, because she is crippled, she walks with a limp. She lives a very isolated ', solitary life, content to polish her glass collection. She patiently deals with the constant nagging of her mother who fears for her future.
Laura is the peace-maker of the family, trying her best to help her brother to get along with their mother. And, finally, after Jim O'Connor comes to the house for dinner, and she actually has a wonderful time talking, dancing and sharing an intimate kiss with him, the reader feels a great deal of sympathy for her when she finds out that he is engaged to be married.
At the end of the play, when Tom abandons the family, the reader feels very sorry for Laura.
