conversations.value: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the story of a Southern family in crisis, especially the husband Brick and wife Margaret (usually called Maggie or "Maggie the Cat"), and their interaction with Brick\'s family over the course of one evening gathering at the family estate in Mississippi.\nThe party is to celebrate the birthday of patriarch Big Daddy Pollitt, "the Delta\'s biggest cotton-planter", and his return from the Ochsner Clinic with what he has been told is a clean bill of health.\nAll family members (except Big Daddy and his wife, Big Mama) are aware of Big Daddy\'s true diagnosis: he is dying of cancer.\nHis family has lied to Big Daddy and Big Mama to spare the aging couple from pain on the patriarch\'s birthday but, throughout the course of the play, it becomes clear that the Pollitt family has long constructed a web of deceit for itself.\nMaggie, determined and beautiful, has escaped a childhood of poverty to marry into the wealthy Pollitts, but finds herself unfulfilled.\nThe family is aware that Brick has not slept with Maggie for a long time, which has strained their marriage.\nBrick, an aging football hero, infuriates her by ignoring his brother Gooper\'s attempts to gain control of the family fortune.\nBrick\'s indifference and his drinking have escalated with the suicide of his friend Skipper.\nMaggie fears that Brick\'s malaise will ensure that Gooper and his wife Mae end up with Big Daddy\'s estate.\nThrough the evening, Brick, Big Daddy and Maggie—and the entire family—separately must face down the issues which they have bottled up inside.\nBig Daddy attempts a reconciliation with the alcoholic Brick.\nBoth Big Daddy and Maggie separately confront Brick about the true nature of his relationship with his pro football buddy Skipper, which appears to be the source of Brick\'s sorrow and the cause of his alcoholism.\nBrick explains to Big Daddy that Maggie was jealous of the close friendship between Brick and Skipper because she believed it had a romantic undercurrent.\nHe states that Skipper took Maggie to bed to prove her wrong.\nBrick believes that when Skipper couldn\'t complete the act, his self-questioning about his sexuality and his friendship with Brick made him "snap".\nBrick also reveals that, shortly before he committed suicide, Skipper confessed his feelings to Brick, but Brick rejected him.\nDisgusted with the family\'s "mendacity", Brick tells Big Daddy that the report from the clinic about his condition was falsified for his sake.\nBig Daddy storms out of the room, leading the party gathered out on the gallery to drift inside.\nMaggie, Brick, Mae, Gooper, and Doc Baugh (the family\'s physician) decide to tell Big Mama the truth about his illness and she is devastated by the news.\nGooper and Mae start to discuss the division of the Pollitt estate.\nBig Mama defends her husband from Gooper and Mae\'s proposals.\nBig Daddy reappears and makes known his plans to die peacefully.\nAttempting to secure Brick\'s inheritance, Maggie tells him she is pregnant.\nGooper and Mae know this is a lie, but Big Mama and Big Daddy believe that Maggie "has life".\nWhen they are alone again, Maggie locks away the liquor and promises Brick that she will "make the lie true".
