Reviewing Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire"

'A Streetcar Named Desire' is a wonderful play by Tennessee Williams.

            Blanche DuBois goes to live in her sister Stella's house, but has a bitter relationship with her brother-in-law, Stanley. She dates Stanley's friend Mitch. The developments of the story reveal that Blanche was broke and head lost her job as a teacher for her unaccaptable sexual behavior with her students and other men alike. Stanley reveals these facts to Mitch, and the latter breaks up with Blanche.

            When Stella was in the hospital giving birth to Stanley's child, Stanley raped Blanche, who was drunk. Stella, however, never believed Blanche's claims about the incident. Blanche loses her sanity and is taken to a hospital for psychological problems, but she herself believes that she is actually going to meet her millionaire lover, who is none but a creation of her disturbed mind. A lot of other minor incidents, as seen on stage, describe the plot better, also creates a feeling of rage and sympathy at the same time in the audience.

            I liked the story. My least favorite character would be Stella Kowalski, who had eloped with  a man lower than her family's standard. Moreover, even though Stanley abuse and mistreat her, she still loves him blindly, and believes that he is the best person on earth. Even, she denies to believe that Stanley raped her sister Blanche.
