A streetcar named desire character anylasis
Stella is Blanches younger sister and is married to Stanley. She is confident, she pretty much worships Stanley and loves him alot. Also, Stella is argumentive, and a little controlling. Not to mention she is also pregnant in the movie, and the baby does come.
Blanch on the other hand, is very different from Stella. Blanch is a nervous wreck who flirts, portrays herself as wealthy, and is also dangerous. She has also slept with a seventeen year old boy and she thinks she is better than everybody else. Blanch also tells people that she was or is an english instructor. In conclusion she is a nasty lier.
Stanley is Stella’s husband and he seems to have anger issues at times but this is only as a result of Blanch being in his house and he sees through her deception. He is controlling, which is understandable, during the time period the movie takes place(post WW2). He is not a refined man and can’t live without Stella. He seems to be the only somewhat intelligent man in the movie, when it comes to seeing Blanches deception.
And finally MItch is a man who loves Blanch for some reason. He is more casual than Stanley. Meaning he wears a nice suit throughout the movie.

    In the commencement of the play, Blanche is quickly described as a damsel in distress. She is portrayed as a wealthy woman “in a white suit with a fluffy bodice, necklace and earing of pearl, white gloves and hat…” (5). She resembles an embellished white moth. The fact that she is forced to live with her younger sister Stella and her domineering husband truly shows that Blanche is in a truly desperate situation. Her overall character is depicted as a traumatized woman that is in complete desolation. Experiences such as witnessing her family on a “...Long parade to the graveyard” (21). Being forced to live with your family until their tragic demise would emotionally and mentally torment anyone. She lives inside of her own world in which she…

    -In the end, Stanley's down-to-earth character proves harmfully crude and brutish. His chief amusements are gambling, bowling, sex, and drinking, and he lacks ideals and imagination. His disturbing, degenerate nature, first hinted at when he beats his wife, is fully evident after he rapes his sister-in-law. Stanley shows no remorse for his brutal actions. The play ends with an image of Stanley as the ideal family man, comforting his wife as she holds their newborn child. The wrongfulness of this representation, given what we have learned about him in the play, ironically calls into question society's decision to ostracize Blanche.…

    A Streetcar Named Desire written by Tennessee Williams is a play about a southern lady named Blanche from Mississippi visiting her sister Stella, who is married to Stanley and currently living in Elysian Fields, New Orleans. Blanche arrives in Elysian Fields, and throughout her entire stay with Stella and Stanley, there is tension and conflict occurring in Stella’s house. Even though Blanche and Stella were brought up in the South under wealthy conditions, the conflict is mainly caused by Blanche’s dislike of Stanley because, as a blue-collar worker, Stanley's status is lower than the DuBois’. In another aspect, Stanley’s conflict is caused by him being suspicious of Blanche since her arrival. Blanche explains to Stella that…

    Stanley shows instability throughout the play, especially after the arrival of Stella’s sister, Blanche. Stanley does not allow his anger to take over him at first, but after many months of what he sees as disrespect from his sister-in-law and eventually from his wife he completely breaks down. The first scene of instability shown in the play is at the poker game where when Stella tries to act as head of the house and attempts to break up the poker game. Stanley jumps up and charges after her and slaps her. Another example of Stanley being pushed from sanity is in scene eight when he says, “What do you two think you are? A pair of queens? Remember what Huey Long said- “Every Man is a King!”And I am the king around here, so don’t forget it!” (Williams 131).…

    Blanche is an English teacher, but she's one of a kind. You'd never forget her if you took her course. Shortly before the play begins, Blanche has lost her job. She wasn't fired for poor teaching skills, however. The superintendent's letter said Blanche was "morally unfit for her position." That's probably a fair evaluation of a teacher who seduced one of the seventeen-year-old boys in her class. Also, Blanche's sexual exploits so outraged the citizens of Laurel, Mississippi, that they practically threw her out of town. You don't know all these facts about Blanche until late in the play. At first, she seems to be just a high-strung, but refined, woman who has come to New Orleans to pay…

    For Blanche maintaining her youth and appearance is important as it is part of her illusions, making it seem as though nothing in her life has changed.

Finally, Stella uses illusion as she endures her husband’s drinking and physical abuse. She also uses fantasy to protect and preserve her marriage, creating a facade that she lives happily with her…
