What does the fact that the Wingfield apartment is found at the rear of the building imply?

what view does williams want to convey by setting the wingfield apartment at the rear of the building?

In my opinion, the apartment's location in the rear of the building, and its proximity to the fire escape, support the theme of escape. Williams uses this location to set the stage and support the theme, as all of Tom's entrances and exits are made from the escape.
