The play's success lies in its exploration of taboo subjects, richly drawn characters, and evocative dialogue. Williams captures Southern speech's nuances, infusing authenticity. The stifling heat enhances the palpable unease. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" resonates for its bold portrayal of human frailty, earning critical acclaim and enduring as a classic in American literature and theater.
