Isn't it true the relationship between Stella and Stanley is praiseworthy, since it combines sexual attraction with compassion for the purpose of procreation? Isn't it true that as opposed to Stanley's normalcy in marriage, Blanche's dalliance in sexual perversion and overt efforts to break up Stanley and Stella's marriage is reprehensible? Isn't it true that Stella's faulty socialization resulting in signs of hysteria throughout the play meant that she probably would have ended her life in a mental hospital no matter whether the rape had occurred or not?
she was told "to take a streetcar named Desire, and then to transfer to one
During early times men were regarded as superior to women. In Tennessee William’s play, “A Streetcar Named Desire”, Stanley Kowalski, the work’s imposing antagonist, thrives on power. He embodies the traits found in a world of old fashioned ideals where men were meant to be dominant figures. This is evident in Stanley’s relationship with Stella, his behavior towards Blanche, and his attitude towards women in general. He enjoys judging women and playing with their feelings as well.
Entering the work, along with the reader, is Blanche. The fact that the reader is essentially carried into the story is important as the character with the most emotion is Blanche. She enters the play covered in white, which at this point can be taken in one of two ways. White, obviously, signifies purity. A woman who was still a virgin would dress in white to show off to possible suitors. The description also says “suit"; a suit is generally wore by a man; a suit wore by a woman would be seen as a sign of power, that she was equitable to any man. It could, however, be taken another way; the same reason women wear makeup; a façade. Blanche is a fake woman, someone who is “50% illusion” and in love with “magic.” With white gloves she attempts to sheath herself from the dirt that is society, like a fine woman would do. She is also, at the same time, hiding her true self from view; age shows in the hands. Her expression is that of disbelief, something that will repeat throughout the play and the film version, like many tiny revelations that truth lies behind the make-believe.
In Tennessee Williams' play, A Streetcar Named Desire, Williams uses the suicide of Blanche's husband to illuminate Blanche's insecurities and immoral behavior. When something terrible happens to someone, it often reveals who he or she truly is. Blanche falls victim to this behavior, and she fails to face her demons. This displays how the play links a character’s illogical choices and their inner struggles.
Streetcar Named Desire Tennessee Williams's play A Streetcar Named Desire contains more within its characters, situations, and story than appears on its surface. Joseph Krutch, author of Twentieth Century Interpretations of A Streetcar Named Desire wrote, “The author’s perceptions remain subtle and delicate. The final impression left is, surprisingly enough, not of sensationalism but of subtlety” (38). As in many of Williams's plays, deeper meanings are understood only through close examination of each scene.
In A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams, the characters presented represent Williams' own view of society. In Streetcar, Williams has created a medium to observe and reflect upon the darkest aspects of society and the result of these societal downfalls.
In mid-20th century western society, preconceptions of male behavior remained inert. Stanley from A Streetcar Named Desire exemplifies rigid stereotypes of an alpha male within American society and Gallimard from M Butterfly juxtaposes with a deep, but thus far unfulfilled, desire for complete dominance over a woman. Society expected men to be exclusive figures of authority within the home, and more generally patriarchal dominants.
Though the “primitive,” rituals described in Schechner’s article diverge from the realism found in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, the same “reactualization” process exists in his work. Williams’ Streetcar focuses on the “mock battle” or complete contest between the generational cultures symbolized by Blanche Dubois and Stanley Kowalski’s characters. Blanche, representative of the fallen southern aristocracy, searches for sensitivity and kindness in the new world of Stanley Kowalski, the modern labor class. In Blanche’s search for safety, the semiotic theatrical qualities of the play become a ritualistic “clash of the titans” as both Blanche and Stanley fight for domination and control over the future generations realized in Stella’s womb. Yet the tragic dethronement of previous generations - represented by Blanche’s exile from the community and her subsequent departure for the asylum – leaves the audience without an Aristotlean catharsis. Rather, the classically regenerative “sacrifice of the hero…is gone; what we have instead is a resignation to general guilt,” (Vlasopolos, 323), as Williams’ titanic “unmasking” dies away rather than resolving the conflict. With such little hope offered in Williams’ dénouement audience members frequently question Streetcars’ resolution, finding no reactualizing forces in the death characters’ masks. However, the answer to this question lies in the mythological characterizations Williams creates in the battle between Stanley and Blanche. By examining the basic semiotic properties Williams foregrounds in both Blanche and Stanley’s titanic characters the audience may understand the moral force actualized in A Streetcar Named Desires as mythic ritual.
In the opening chapter of the play, the several attributes of Stella Kowalski are made familiar to us and overall, depict her as a kind-natured, considerate and young woman. Stella’s persona also provides us with a dichotomy to Blanche.
2. What causes Mitch and Blanche to take a "certain interest" in one another? That is, what is the source of their immediate attraction? What seems to draw them together? What signs are already present to suggest that their relationship is doomed/problematic?
In Tennessee William’s story, A Streetcar Named Desire, the characteristics of two main characters’ clash leading to pain and sorrow for many. Stanley, portrayed as an attractive man, acts differently than the normal male. Throughout the play, he comes across as a rude gentleman who lacks respect for women. Throughout William’s story, Stanley continuously presents animalistic features through the way he handles anger, treats women, and talks to others.
Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire to set place in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1947. The play shows how desire can control and affect someone’s life. What one desire is different from others people’s desires. In the play, desire affects Stanley and Blanche lives differently. Their desires causes them to dislike and crash against each other. Other characters in the play are affected by desire but is shown more in Stanley and Blanche lives. Stanley demonstrates his desire of being the one in control while Blanche is trying to live in fantasy to get away from her past and seem to have a better life.
First, suspense one of the most annoying yet amazing part of a narrative/movie. Suspense is a state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen “I will not lose my nerve. I will not.” (32). Suspense plays a huge part in this story. Throughout the whole story suspense is everywhere, it’s in a tree and on the ground and in the air and just all around. One scene Rainsford is in a tree while Zaroff was right next to him about to be alerted by Zaroff. “If you are within the sound of my voice I congratulate you” (33). Rainsford made a trap to distract/kill Zaroff and it ended up wounding him causing him to say what he said. Not one person has made it that far according to Zaroff.
