The Glass Menagerie is basically a book of symbolism. Laura is mainly represented by her precious glass menagerie. When Tom breaks some peices of it this symbolizes Laura's shattered emotions thoughout the story. The storm in the story also represent Laura's inner tormoils. The unicorn that she gives to Jim towards the end is a perfect example of her. When she describes it to Jim she is basically describing herself- fragile, different, and lonely. When the horn breaks it symbolizes Laura's transformation into a more normal preson.
