A Streetcar Named Desire and Blanche

Blanche was a lady in her own eyes. She was into more old traditions than her sister. Blanche was living in her fantasy world and not the real world. Blanche always need compliments were as Stella did not need them to make her feel good about herself. Blanche thought men were to always be gentlemen no matter what just like in the old days. Stella being the new kind of south women knew that men weren’t always gentlemen. Stella was like a yes women when it came to Stanley. She always took him back after he hit or hurt her. The old south was use to old traditions like men being gentlemen. I think it couldn’t exist today because women now are CEO of companies and they would not take what women took back in the day. Blanche’s journey on the streetcar called desire represents the journey of her own life. Desire is her first step, just as it was the first step of her life after her husband died. That is why she slept with many men after he died. Her next step of her journey is Cemeteries, which is a symbol for death. Elysian Fields is the name of the street where Stella and Stanley live. The play and title tells us everything like the plot and theme. Desire is the key the whole movie was about Blanche desire to be accepted by the world.
Stanley was just a mean guy. He said he ruin their relationship because he and Mitch where in the Army together and that Mitch was his friend. He had heard things about Blanche from a co-worker who traveled to Laurel frequently and everything she was telling Mitch was a lie. He didn’t want Mitch to marry Blanche either.
Marlon Brando played Stanley his acting was amazing I loved how he could go from 0 to 100 in a drop of a dime. I feel like this what made him award worthy. He played the role to the point even though his own personality was far from Stanley. Vivien Lee played Blanche in the movie. Her acting was astonishing she
