Decline of Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams A Streetcar Named Desi
The Unnecessary Decline of Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named need Upon reviewing the drama, A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, it would come along that the character of Blanche DuBois is worthy of wetr inspection. With her previous occupation as a teacher of American literature and her former social status cosmos that of a well-bred woman of the very customal Old South, Blanche could be any human being transferring from one culture to another with impost far different from the ones being left behind. Even today it could demote that someone is suddenly confronted with a totally new and different judge system with which he must learn to cope in value to be accepted into his new environment. That is the situation in which Blanche finds herself. After close inspection of the plot of A Streetcar Named Desire, it appears that the course of the play could kinda easily have been turned from decline and tragedy to rescue and jubilate for Blanche DuBois with only a few minor adjustments. A streetcar named Desire brought Blanche to the last station of her decline. Blanches spine or leitmotif is find Protection the tradition of the Old South says that it must be through another person... her hassle has to do with her tradition... the thing about the tradition in the 19th one C was that it worked then (Donahue 30). But today Blanche cant feel safe within the bound of the Old South traditions anymore. On the contrary ...it tradition makes Blanche feel alone, outside of her society. go forth out, insecure, shaky (Donahue 32). In the exposition of the play, Blanche arrives in her new environment and does not feel the least bit comfortable when she sees how her sister lives. Blanche p... ...n mind and be because a community is only as strong as its weakest link. Williams knew this and had a great desire to help those less fortunate than he. He tried and true to do this through his works, by calling attention to the problems that many good dea l faced on a daily basis, thereby forcing his audiences to choose to both ignore the problems or to do something to bring about change.
