Creative Writing: A Streetcar Named Desire

Decent Essays
Have I done something wrong? Am I not a worthy woman of love and life, why cannot any one see this? I am not the only victim of letting lies slip past my lips, that Polack of Stella has constantly been frustrating me with his desire over me. I have opened myself to love so many times, yet this time I have been robbed of my body. Stanley, oh that brute, his interminable mercilessness and thick, improper, savage comments that he sets aside every second I open my mouth or go into a room. He thinks he know me.

She states that she can smile, laugh, listen, and marvel at this man’s tales of bedroom conquests, yet it is clear his behavior does hurt her.…

My legs feel like they are falling off.…

    Death in A Streetcar Named Desire Tennessee Williams uses the theme of death continually in the play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ through the use of dramatic imagery and literal references.

Blanche first voices the theme of death in the very first scene whilst discussing the fate that has befallen Belle Reve.…

    His eyes adjust slightly to the dim lights as he reaches forward to grab the rail as his thoughts slow down a moment. His heart adjusting from the pounding adrenaline rush caused by the explosion to a slow and steady thump.
