Stanley Williams Monologue

Not only is he the most nominated living individual in the history of the Academy Awards (with 49 nominations), but he is also the third most-nominated person in Hollywood History, second only to Metro Goldwyn Mayer (62) Walt Disney (59). In his credentials he holds five Academy Awards, seven British Academy Film Awards, 22 Grammy Awards, and 4 Golden Globe Awards. Considering that obtaining a single nomination for any of the aforementioned awards is remarkable in itself, this astounding number is truly

Sam’s chaw-stained teeth gnashed together. “Let’s shoot him, George.” Tall and rail thin, he hunched in the saddle, resting his arm on the shotgun.

As the reader reaches the end of the story, the need for a completion of the characters and who they are is imperative to the final understanding of A Streetcar Named Desire. Despite Blanche’s desperate attempts to sell her story, the qualities that she described herself as having that appealed to mean—“beauty of the mind and richness of the spirit and tenderness of the heart”—remained largly unconfirmed due to her unreliable narrative and Stanley’s interferience (source). As Blanche’s attempt at a story of herself fails, the story of Stanley prevails and reaches a frightening conclusion. No matter how offensive and repugnant it is, the inevitability of the rape is the inescapable end to Stanley’s story. While Stanley has managed to blow holes

As long as one’s nerve is kept, the illogical ways of one’s mindset is able to subside. While hiding from the predator, “The general’s eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring. But the sharp eyes of the hunter stopped before they reached the limb where Rainsford lay; a smile spread over his brown face.” (14). Nothing is scarier than the knowledge that one might be released from the privilege of life. As of Rainsford’s attempt to keep out of sight, Connell creates silence through pure writing. As some may know, silence can be either peaceful or horrifying, given the circumstances. In this case, it is absolutely petrifying. The suspense of the protagonist’s fate can potentially even fear the reader as imagery fabricates the entire scene of stillness in the audience’s mind. No one moves except for the hunter, and the aspect that terrifies most individuals is the fact that the general spots and neglects Rainsford willingly. The author incorporates this significant event of imagery to create unbearable tension towards the readers. Undeniably, this panicking scene of silence is the peak of the suspense because it brings nothing, but fear and a yearning of what will occur next. Rainsford scolds himself, “‘Nerve, nerve, nerve!’...as he dashed along. A blue gap showed between the trees dead ahead. Ever nearer drew the

In A Streetcar Named Desire, the theme of violence is very frequent in the character Stanley Kowalski. Stanley is a married, young man, who comes across to the reader as quite an enraged person with animalistic attributes. A prime insinuation of Stanley’s difference to regular humans is when Stella DuBois (Stanley’s wife) explains to her sister that Stanley is of “a different species”, foreshadowing that Williams may be warning the reader that Stanley is capable of things that are not in

Marcus creeps up, slowly dribbling the ball looking at me like I’m his prey. He shoots.

My dear husband, I understand that you would do anything to get me out of jail; but it is not necessary. As you know, I am with child and they will postpone my death a year. They tell me of how you have fought to try to save me. You do all of this at your own expense. We both wish that things weren’t this way; but you don’t need to suffer with me. If you continue to defy the court they will have no mercy on you. What would happen to our children? They would be orphaned; I refuse to do that to them. You have to forget about helping me and focus on our boys.

The thunder clapped against the sky, sounding like thousands of galloping horses. There was no sign of human life except for the truck and luxury horse trailer that zoomed by. Hard rain hit the trailer, making loud thuds against it's rusted metal. A young teenager with brown curly hair, freckles, and blue eyes sat in the back seat of the red truck. The girl glanced at the camper/trailer behind them and sighed.

Streetcar Named Desire” it would be safe to assume Stanley was aggressive towards his wife

The beginning I lived in a little town in texas only having 250 residence and i was one of them just at the beginning my adulthood and I finished school just 3 years back. I had life going great until that night when I died and it was all caused by my rival “Willy Morgan” when he came to my house looking for a fight and i gave it to him it was a fist fight it was the brawl of the century until Willy took out a knife when i saw the knife I quickly grabbed a glass bottle and whacked him right on the cheekbone causing a deep cut on his cheek, blood dripped on the floor boards he was furious he stabbed me once in the heart and it was over. Now that i’m a ghost I’ve dedicate my whole life to haunt Willy Morgan and that’s just what i’m going to do

Stanley is portrayed in a negative light throughout the play, with his mind mainly focused on himself. Williams paints this impression of Stanley by emphasizing the importance of his possessions by describing, “his car, his radio, everything that’s his.” (25) At first glance, Stella and

The way the writer has structured the text has interested me, as a reader, due to the fact he begins with using a focus shift. This is intriguing as the first sentence implies a normal bus journey ‘Stanley was the only passenger on the bus’ however, he follows that by using the phrase ‘A rifle lay across his lap’. This creates a sense of danger and consequence, furthermore, it also connotes contrast and mystery.

It was 6:30 A.M. when Edward heard the turning of a knob. The door swung open with William’s voice filling the previously silent room. Edward had the closet door opened just a crack, and it was just enough to see William standing over his desk. Edward readied his handgun, intent on fulfilling his contract.

There is an ongoing power struggle between Stanley and Blanche, which propels the narrative. Stanley has the power of masculine physicality and mentality, whereas Blanche has only the power of her background, of which she feigns to be her class. As the battle between the two is predominately over Stella, we begin to witness in scene 2 where Stanley openly accuses Blanche of hiding “legal papers connected with the plantation”. His aggressive nature towards her motivates the idea of his resentment towards her, as he “shoves [the trunk] roughly open” looking for papers she claims not to have. This hostile confrontation is the first of many; the most memorable at the end of the tenth scene, in which Stanley sexually abuses Blanche. It promotes Stanley’s victory over Blanche, as Stanley reaches the height of power by taking physical advantage of her weakness. His victory of the power struggle continues to Scene Eleven, when Blanche

He could hear breathing in the shrubbery at his back. Taking a large branch from the forest floor, he proceeded towards Whitney. In a flash of movement Rainsford had knocked the gun from the boy’s hand and raised his club for the fatal stroke.
