Williams shows evidence of this firstly when Stanley questions her visit she become panicked and
begins to mutter 'I - uh-' Blanche is out of her comfort zone and has lost all confidence in herself.
Blanche Dubois, Stella's older sister, arrives unexpectedly, carrying all that she owns. Even if the
script is the same the actors portraying the characters and the director directing the actors play a big
role in whether or not the play is acceptable. A review of literature related to the play gives a
summary of the literary and linguistic research carried out by different researchers to understand the
play from various aspects. She asks him to marry her, and when he doesn't, she kicks him out of the
apartment. She has lost a husband, that she adored, her family’s residence, which she has lived in for
many years, and she has also lost her job as an English teacher. A Streetcar Named Desire In this
assignment what we have to do in this essay is to write a how Tennessee Williams uses dramatic
devise of conflict in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in the essay we have to include different types of
conflict in the play which makes it very exiting. Blanche depends on male sexual admiration for her
self esteem, which means that she often has to succumb to the pressure of desire rather than finding
a perfect suitor. Although previously it seemed that Blanche might marry Mitch, after he learns the
truth he loses all interest. It is important as one reads the play to realize that sometimes we can see
the street and the outside of the house; and, sometimes, a wall of the house becomes transparent,
and we see inside the house. Blanche's Old South life comes to an end when she ultimately loses her
family's fortune and ownership of Belle Reve. The study also analyzed the discourse contexts and
their impact on the meaning of the given different situations that the main characters, i.e., Amanda,
Laura, Tom Wingfield, encounter during the ongoing actions of the play. Overall, in writing this
thesis,I will prove that the rigidity and repressive traits that constituted Post-War male consciousness
create a barrier to self-expression and thus disrupt the relationships between the aforementioned
characters. Blanche covers the exposed lightbulb in the Kowalski apartment with a Chinese paper
lantern, and she refuses to go on dates with Mitch during the daytime or to well-lit locations. When
the nurse comes to get Blanche she screams and eventually has a nervous breakdown because she
cannot cope with her mind reminding her about the night her husband killed himself and Stanley
raping her. She allowed the audience to believe that she was Blanche not Jessica Coplan. The
connection between actors and audience is more powerful when in a theater because, the audience’s
reactions towards a scene in a play can cause the actors to feel more in charge and possibly improve
what they are doing. My central thesis is that the hyper-masculine characteristics embodied by
Stanley Kowalski and Mitch in Streetcar as well as Brick and Big Daddy Pollitt in Cat inhibit their
capacity to maintain successful interpersonal relationships within both plays. It might also be good
for students to self-assess, to identify what the Exam Board are looking for and where. In her
loneliness, during the last days of Belle Reve and after the mansion was lost, she turned to strangers
for comfort. For example, at the poker night, when she showed her kindness to Stanley's friends, but
Stanley put a damper on her (p.48). I think that because from the first time, Stanley had a deep
prejudice against Blanche, he thought that Blanche didn't tell the truth of her past. Another method
that Williams uses to highlight themes is the lighting. Individuals are not at all free agents of their
own lives, but it is the government deciding on the nature of the normal and the abnormal. By
continuing, you agree to our Terms and Conditions. This allows us to understand that Stella chooses
to stay with Stanley because of the strong desire for him physically has made her blind to his bad
qualities. Sometime later that evening, while the two of them were dancing, she told him what she
had seen and how he disgusted her. Stella’s bluntness is surprising because she comes from the North
where it is unusual for women to be so open about their desires and needs. Stanley talks to Stella in a
degrading voice. “Let me enlighten you on”. Download Free PDF View PDF See Full PDF

numerous amorous encounters destroyed her reputation in Laurel, leading to her loss of her job as a
high school English teacher and her near-expulsion from town. He approaches her, making advances,
wanting what she has denied him all summer. One night, the night when Stanley hosts a poker game,
he gets too drunk and beats Stella. She has lost a husband, that she adored, her family’s residence,
which she has lived in for many years, and she has also lost her job as an English teacher. It is

Please could you share a link to the article you mention in your lesson on Scene 10 (about censorship
in the 1951 film version of Streetcar). After Stanley hit Stella maddeningly, Blanche tried to
persuade Stella to leave Stanley and that horrid place. Even for military personnel at the near-by
army base, Blanche's house became out-of-bounds. This is useful to teachers, who are looking to

of the literary and linguistic research carried out by different researchers to understand the play from

with men for shelter and the vain comfort that she is still desired by the opposite sex, even as an
aging Southern Belle. Within the first Stage direction he describes the sky to be bright to show the
dim white building in a peculiar tender blue, which gracefully highlights the atmosphere of decay
within the street. Since then, Blanche hears the Varsouviana followed by a revolver shot whenever
she panics and loses her grip on reality. Stella is still in labour, and will be until morning, so Stanley's
getting some sleep. The Varsouviana, a song originally from Poland’s Warsaw, is used to dramatise
the influence of the past on the present. We learn that Blanche was once married, when she was very
young, but the boy died. Mitch arrives. He confronts her with the stories of her past, and she tells
him, in lurid detail, the truth about her escapades in Laurel. We learn that Blanche was once married,
when she was very young, but the boy died. Thomas Adler and other critics believe that Williams
created a new form of lyrical drama with this play. She has also lost Belle Reve, the family
residence. Stella also loves the fact he is a potentially dangerous man. The play takes place right after
World War II, in New Orleans. Further, he went on asking her for the physical telegram to convince
him that she did receive it. All of these things are still happening around the world but are unknown
to the women’s family an friends because like Blanche they keep them a secret because maybe they
are to embarrassed and they blame themselves for what has happened and what is happening to
them. It’s also useful to students themselves who are looking to compare their work or improve.
After all, as argued by Harold Bloom in his landmark study The Anxiety of Influence, claims
pertaining to this notion must be embedded in analogy-based reasoning because the very integration
of influences into an aesthetic sensitivity constitutes a fundamental part of the lifecycle of an artist
as artist (Bloom, 1997). The houses are mostly white frame, weathered grey, with rickety outside
stairs and galleries and quaintly ornamented gables. He attacked her fantasies about the rich
boyfriend at a time when she was most emotionally unstable. The past is something that characters
are locked within chaining them to secret misdeeds and shameful actions ultimately leading them to
the question of reality versus illusion, revealing their weaknessess and leading some of them towards
their downfall. See other similar resources ?2.00 (no rating) 0 reviews BUY NOW Save for later Not

She is haunted by the ghosts of what she has lost—her first love, her purpose in life, her dignity, and
the genteel society of her ancestors. Stella looks on to her sister being carried away in a hearse like

cruelty of his act. Overtime the memory comes back to her, the musical tune from the incident
doesn't end in her mind until she has something alcoholic to drink. Stanley looks into Blanche's past,
and he passes the information on to Mitch. Throughout the play we see that Blanch is frightened by
her past and tries to lead the life of an elegant lady and does her best to keep up appearances, even if
she has to lie to others to do so. The women go up to their upstairs neighbours' apartment, but soon
Stella returns to Stanley, the two coupling with an animal-like need. This resource hasn't been

Stanley looks into Blanche's past, and he passes the information on to Mitch. A review of literature
related to the play gives a summary of the literary and linguistic research carried out by different

seem to signify how Blanche's mind is unstable, and yet she tries to still be the educated, well-
mannered, and attractive person that Mitch first sees her as. One night, the night when Stanley hosts
a poker game, he gets too drunk and beats Stella. We read 'Heart's Desire' by Caryl Churchill and
devised and performed a pie. From that time on, he devotes himself fully to her destruction.
The shower serves to soothe his violent temper; afterward, he leaves the bathroom feeling remorseful

question of which characters represents light and dark is debatable, but it seems that both have an
aspect of softness and harshness, whichever the audience decides to sympathize with. The male being
the protector and the female being the helpless. I think that maybe her mad behaviour could let her
escaped from the quilt she did before and from being poisoned. As for the first time Blanche saw the
cat when she arrived at this place, she was startled by it. Old South represents death, whereas New
South represents life. My central thesis is that the hyper-masculine characteristics embodied by
Stanley Kowalski and Mitch in Streetcar as well as Brick and Big Daddy Pollitt in Cat inhibit their
capacity to maintain successful interpersonal relationships within both plays. Keywords: absurd,

Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie Dr. Mahmoud S M Gadallah, George Mathew Nalliveettil
The Glass Menagerie is one of the Tennessee Williams' most famous plays which won the New York
Drama Critics' Circle award. He attacked her fantasies about the rich boyfriend at a time when she
was most emotionally unstable. Stanley then finds the information of the estate and that it was lost
on a mortgage. Feminist and gender studies have examined the important role of Otherness in the
construction of female identity. She deceived Stella and pretended that she was very miserable. All
the questions answered cover various themes and characters to ensure students are best prepared for
the exam. All of this, cumulatively, weakened Blanche, turned her into an alcoholic, and lowered her
mental stability bit-by-bit. Blanche suffers from delirium tremens as she is drinking from Stanley’s
whisky bottle in page 120. His plays satirise preconceived ideas and institutions which lend
themselves to the Theatre of the Absurd that deliberately parodies all the traditional assumptions of
Western culture. Stella explains that she is “thrilled” by Stanley’s passionate anger. Stanley and she
would have gotten along better if she would have been frank with him during their first encounter. In
the play, the contrasting settings of Old South and New South represent Blanche is two different
ways. She is haunted by the deaths of her ancestors, which she attributes to their “epic fornications.”
The sins of the fathers are visited upon their children is a good example of Blanches “ hysterical
outburst” in page 126, where she says, in an emotionally loaded phrase, “I fought and bled”.
However Stanley exposed all her frauds without any sympathy. All of these things are still
happening around the world but are unknown to the women’s family an friends because like Blanche
they keep them a secret because maybe they are to embarrassed and they blame themselves for what
has happened and what is happening to them. We are shown this when Stella tells us of his violence
on their wedding night. Each paragraph in the body of the essay should contain. Stella, twenty-five
years old and pregnant, lives with her blue collar husband Stanley Kowalski.

first issues of dealing with the past by one of the protagonists, Blanche. Blanche goes deep into a
fantasy world that she has created until, eventually, she cannot return to reality. The discrimination
in the novel attacks females, illustrating them as inferior beings to males. Then I think another reason
that caused the conflict between Stanley and Blanche is their selfish thoughts. She asks him to marry
her, and when he doesn't, she kicks him out of the apartment. In Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar
Named Desire (1947), this struggle and clash of ideologies are embodied in the characters of Stanley
and Blanche who are regarded as a threat to the dominant ideology. During the performance I felt so
connected to Blanche that I thought I knew what she was going through and her pain, but in reality
it was the performance that captivated me, that made me see Blanche in a different way. For
example, at the poker night, when she showed her kindness to Stanley's friends, but Stanley put a
damper on her (p.48). I think that because from the first time, Stanley had a deep prejudice against
