Analysis Of ' A Streetcar Named Desire '

A Streetcar Named Desire is focused almost completely on its three protagonists: Blanche, Stella, and Stanley. It could be suggested that this play was influenced by Williams’ own upbringing: his sister Rose was mentally ill, and Williams’ was a doting older brother. Potentially, Blanche was inspired by Rose and that this play uses his unique perspective to comment on the treatment of the mentally ill. Williams may be using Stella’s conflict to highlight this.

The play A Streetcar Named Desire, by Tennessee Williams, is a play about a woman named Blanche Dubois who goes to live with her sister after she loses her home in Mississippi. Between the hardships of her previous life and the way she is treated now, she is not in a good way by the time the play ends. She basically has a mental breakdown. There are three stages of Blanche’s mental state. She lives in a fantasy, Mitch rejecting her, and Stanley raping her, Blanche is mentally unstable by the end of this ply.

In the classic fairytale of Cinderella, the main character is trapped in an abusive household. However, Cinderella’s self-perception of optimism and hope, enables her to believe that ultimately, her life will naturally improve with these attributes. True to her convictions, Cinderella gets her happily ever after by going to the ball where the prince falls in love with her. Cinderella is saved from her evil. On the other hand, Cinderella can be viewed as a victim who does nothing to enable herself to escape her abusive reality, insteads helplessly waits for fate to intervene. She does not confront the situation nor independently strive to improve her circumstances. Correspondingly, how individuals act when faced with conflict is strongly influenced by their self-perception. It is possible to become confused between reality and illusion, which is determined by their level of self-awareness. In Tennessee Williams’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire, the character of Stella struggles between the control of her husband and sister. Throughout the play, this conflict is demonstrated as she struggles with becoming aware of her abusive household and the contrast to the fairytale illusion she desperately clings to. Ultimately, Stella’s choice to maintain her illusion, rather than confronting her reality, is due to the self-perception of her need to depend on others and desire for idealism, which overall controls her fate.

In Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche DuBois is thrust into a series of unfortunate events and undergoes drastic changes in an effort to come to terms with her completely changed life. Through these events, Blanche happens to be the only remaining individual left to take care of the once valuable and prestigious family belongings, and her psychological mind spirals out of control in her attempts to restore the family’s honor. In addition to experiencing loneliness and feeling isolation from humans, Blanche faced many new challenges in stressful situations, which contributed to her poor decision making skills and inevitable negative outcomes in most of those situations. Through the characterization of Blanche DuBois, Williams’ intends to display the power of significant experiences in one’s life, which serves as a warning of how the effects of significant experiences on individuals should not be underestimated. Unfortunately, in Blanche’s case, abandonment by her sister was the perfect example of an individual underestimating the result of their actions, as this action was the initiation point of the events that would eventually lead to her unfortunate fate. Specifically, Williams’ focuses on portraying the disastrous effects of human isolation, which is often the result of an individual’s mindless actions. Human isolation plays an important role in the outcome of the play, as Blanche is known to have been abandoned at a young age, and her

The play A Streetcar Named Desire, was remade into a movie that was filmed in New Orleans. The film takes place in the 1950s with Blanche who moves in with her sister, Stella, and her brother in law, Stanley. The movie is about Blanche’s experience and eventually demise all in New Orleans.

The two settings are completely different we are introduced to Elysian Field where the Kowalski live and then Blanche from Belle Reve a high class society. Stella has written to Blanche “She wasn’t expecting to find us in such a small place. You see I’d tried to gloss things over a little in my letters” (31). Blanche meanwhile travelled to stay with the Kowalski on two streetcars which will ultimately determine her faith she longs for desire but could not bear the sign of death.

In the opening two scenes of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ by Tennessee Williams, the audience has its first and generally most important impressions formulated on characters, the plot and the mood and tone of the play overall.

In A Streetcar Named Desire there is a character named Blanche who has lost her family fortune and estate, and her husband has committed suicide. Blanche decides to move into the Kowalski home with her sister and brother-in-law. Blanche is a very insecure women who pretends to be someone she is not around her sister. This is how a lot of professional baseball players act when they are using steroids. They do not want people to find out about it so they act very different when they are in a group setting, and also they will lie to anyone even loved ones about whether or not they are using the steroids because if anyone was to find out there career would be ruined. Steroids are

A piece of evidence that I found in paragraph 7 that could contribute to ideas was In sentence 1 stating," CORE planned the first freedom ride in 1961." So from the recent knowledge that has been given to me, a freedom ride is a civil right activist who rode buses. Also in paragraph 7, it states that several participants were arrested in bus stations, many because the police thought that they were working and that they didn't want to feel bad for what they were doing so that arrested them for their crimes.

This 1950's theatrical presentation was directed by Elia Kazan and written by Tennessee Williams. It is about a southern bell by the name of Blanche Dubois who loses her father's plantation to a mortgage and travels to live in her sister's home in New Orleans by means of a streetcar called Desire. There she finds her sister living in a mess with a drunken bully husband, and the events that follow cause Blanche to step over the line of insanity and fall victim to life's harsh lessons.

Essentially, unique human reactions emerge from the act of reminiscing. For many people, recollecting a sequence of past events may lead to a variety of overwhelming, or underwhelming feelings. With that said, many are left with an ultimate goal: to either build on the past, or attempt to demolish any reminder of it. Fortunately, such message is explored in two of the most renowned artworks. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby and Tennessee Williams’, A Streetcar Named Desire, the characterization of both Jay Gatsby and Blanche DuBois, the use of symbolism and motifs, as well as the characters’ downfall, contributes to the development of the theme of being stuck in the past. While Jay Gatsby wishes to

Laurel realizes the malice behind her father’s actions and words in his interactions with the Mennonites. She realized her father had taken advantage of a humble people’s belief, in doing good to all people, with the sole purpose of seeing “a white man on his knees doing something for a black man for free,” (Packer 27)—without even a nice word of “thank you.” Here was a people (the Mennonites) who were able to overcome racial prejudice in their service to all men (any ethnicity) and a man who refused to see beyond it. This was also shown in Arnetta’s desire to hurt a scout troop of Caucasian girls. Unable to see anything beyond the color of their skin and a TV version of “ponytailed and full of energy, bubbling over with love and money,”

Tennessee William is a man known to particularly write about loneliness, irritation, and hopelessness. One of his more famous works, A Streetcar Named Desire, is no exception; it uses many aspects of conflict involving multiple themes, including death and desire, a motif that constantly haunts one of the four major characters in the play: Blanche Dubois. This theme is developed through the repeated conflicts set in her past life and current life. The other three major characters are Blanche’s sister, Stella Kowalski; her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski; and her love interest, Harold “Mitch” Mitchell. These figures are involved in multiple strifes that make up the entirety of the play, ultimately leading to what critics immediately recognize as tragic and ironic (Crandell 92).

Sometimes the villain wins. The valiant works of a beloved hero cannot overcome a villain’s scheming. Neither desired nor predicted, such results prove themselves inevitable and express life’s innate evil which prevails over good. Ultimately, lifestyle and characterization foster conclusions instead of morals and stereotypes. Truthfully, no heroes and villains exist; individual actions feed into a distinct personality, which engenders an appropriate culmination, whether desirable or disadvantageous. Regardless, endings are never spontaneous. Contributing factors formulate the appropriate ending for respective events. Nothing occurs without reason. No human experiences an ending inappropriate to their actions and lifestyle; consequences protrude, and evil reigns. A Streetcar Named Desire chronicles the journeys of supposed heroes and villains, eventually revealing their poetic terminations. A detailed narrative of Stanley and Stella Kowalski, as well as her sister Blanche DuBois, weave together an insightful plot, which Williams then terminates with distinct outcomes for each of the three characters. Stella’s ineffectualness leaves her trapped, Stanley’s dominance prevails through animalism, and Blanche’s superficial life yields destitution as Williams enumerates character lifestyle and its subsequent conclusion.
