Tennessee Williams’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire we are challenged by the character, Stanley Kowalski, to make a firm decision. Typically, we can instantly choose the criminal. Criminals possess several qualities, including: irrationality, entitlement, and impulsive acts. Just as we can choose the criminal, we can immediately recognize the so called “family man.” A family man is a provider, a protector, and a lover. Stanley Kowalski is the distinctive criminal of Williams’ play, which also exhibits some

1.1 Protagonist Blanche DuBois is the younger sister of Stella Kowalski. She comes to visit Stella and her husband, Stanley at their small home in New Orleans. Blanche is described as a Southern Belle that presents a tragic flaw stemmed from her lack of self- esteem.

Also, Blanche believes that Stanley is not right for Stella; she believes that Stanley is of a lower class than

In Streetcar Named Desire, I viewed Blanche as the protagonist and Stanley as the antagonist. Williams described Blanche as “a demonic creature; the size of her feeling was too great for her to contain” (1113). Blanche is the protagonist in the play and I think this because she is the main character throughout the play. She is trying to get her life straightened out after a couple of things going wrong lately in her life. She is hoping to be able to live with her sister and brother-in-law for a

arguments, between her prideful, abusive and masculine husband Stanley and her conceited, judgmental, and superficial sister Blanche. Both of these characters display many antagonistic qualities, an antagonist being someone who creates an obstacle or opposes the protagonist in the story.

Throughout the play, A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams portrays Stanley and Blanche as extreme opposites. This leads to a clash between characters due to Stanley’s harsh and realistic view on life and Blanche’s illusionary and magical view.

She does so to hide from reality since she would much
