12. Peacemaker, middleman. She hates having their little world disrupted by argument.
13. To find a gentleman caller for Laura, since Laura literally knows no boys herself.
14. I start to feel more sympathy for Amanda, at least in the reading of the play. Tom comes across as very selfish, and we catch a glimpse of the fact that Amanda truly cares more for Laura's future than for her own. But the movie Amanda was just annoying and made me feel no sympathy for her at all at this point.

16. To Amanda - what could/should have been the life she was in. To Tom - he is resentful, and yet wishes he could also leave the family. It's a threat because it constantly reminds them that Tom too could walk out at any time, leaving them even more empty.
17. Mostly through Tom's monologues.
