One overall theme in this play (inspired by question 5) is the theme of the family being trapped by their current housing and money status. Throughout the play all of the characters (even little Travis) are all bogged down by the amount of money they have. For example Walter goes crazy trying to "make something of himself" because he is unhappy with his current job. Mama wants to move out of the apartment to give her family a better place to live.
I think the plant is a great representation of this theme (and a couple of other themes not written in this blog). It's a symbol of something to dream about ( a garden) and the affects of the house on the family (almost killing them) yet it stays alive. Similar to the family
they make it through the move
