A Streetcar Named Desire Scene Analysis

Superior Essays
Scene 2, of A Street Car Named Desire, in the movie and the playwright is a particular scene that stood out. This is the part when Stanley questions Blanche about losing Belle Reve and if there were papers to prove it. Stella asked Stanley not to question her sister because she is under a lot of stress. This part of the play is important because the main characters’ personality and relationships toward each other start to stand out.
Stanley’s aggressive nature starts to develop as starts to get angry at how Blanche is trying not to talk about the loss Belle Reve. He also starts to show a little possessiveness he has over Stella, his wife, and Blanche’s sister. He not only thinks that Belle Reve belongs to his wife but he thinks what is hers

At the beginning of the movie it shows Stanley moving Blanches’ trunk to the room but the stage directions in the text say “Stanley enters the kitchen from outside, leaving the door open on the perpetual “Blue Piano” around the corner.” This add-on in the movie is there to show how the trunk gets to its location to play a significant part in Scene 2 when Stanley rummages through Blanches’ things and finds fur and expensive jewelry. Then there is a part when Blanche is supposed to be singing in the background and in the movie that particular part was missing. Even though Blanche is off stage she is still in the conversation that Stanley and Stella are having about …show more content…
There was a big pause, and the jazzy music started to play while Blanche was waiting for Stanley to get out the room so she could change. The pause and the jazzy music gives that part of scene sets a mild sexual mood. In the textual point of view the flirtatiousness was unnoticeable but in the movie with the music in the background, it is noticeable especially at the part when Blanche asks Stanley to button up her dress the slow jazzy music starts to play. In another part of the scene when Blanche is on the floor snatching up the love letters, talking about her dead husband the music is not so jazzy, it is waltz-like and child-like and is important because whenever she speaks of her dead husband she gets either delusional, frantic, protective and closed off to the

    1. Streetcars normally would be seen as merely a symbol of destiny or fate which is impossible to prevent due to the constant running on the rails to the final destination. However, Williams views the streetcar, “Desire”, as something more than just an undefined force because what led Blanche to her overall destruction is her sexual desire and passion. "Cemeteries", however, is connected to “Desire” because it reinforces the reminder that a life driven by desire only ends in one fatal way. A).…

    One theme that constantly appears in A Streetcar Named Desire is a contrast between the reality and fantasy of love. This dichotomy is represented by Blanche and her grasp on life. Blanche attempts to supplement the hard times in her life by creating fantasies where everything is going her way. While playing cards with Stanley, she states, “I know I fib a good deal.…

    From the first scene the audience learns that Blanche and Stella were brought up on a plantation and that Stanley and his friends are poor and uneducated. In the first scene the two families come together in a scruffy environment, it is therefore Blanche who must adjust to the situation. When Stanley exposes Blanche's past and when he rapes her, he turns her ‘upper-class’ upbringing (of which she is very proud) into something without any meaning. The conflict, therefore, is bigger than Stanley vs. Blanche or even male vs. female, it is the Old South vs. the new ind ustrial age and the upper-class life vs. the ‘common’ life. With Blanche, it is not only her sinful ways that causes her misery, it is her upper-class upbringing and clinging to the past that is one of the reasons for her downfall - a tragic end for a tragic character.…

    Whilst recalling these events to Mitch, harsh lighting and abrupt sound is used “[The headlight of the locomotive glares into the room as it thunders past]”, to supplement Blanche’s frightful reflections. Following from the discovery of her husband’s true identity and his sudden suicide, Blanche oversaw multiple deaths in her family and the ultimate loss of her ancestral home Belle Rêve. All of the tragedies in her life inflicted a great amount of emotional and mental impact on Blanche, as she turns to alcohol and sexual promiscuity, in order to escape the brutalities and the void of loneliness in her life. 

In the last few scenes of the play, Blanche and her lies begin to unravel as Mitch is told the truth about her history from…

    The motif of violence is manifest throughout Williams’ ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, not only in the form of acts that are explicitly forceful and destructive, but in the implicit conflicts that are explored within the play, whether between men and women, light and dark, reality and fantasy or the Old South and the New South. Violence is most often associated with the character of Stanley, who progresses violent behaviour and exudes a sense of brutishness that contributes to the play’s overall parallelism to an “urban jungle”, in which Blanche will inevitably become a victim. Sexual violence is a prevalent facet of the play, which makes eminent the subordination of the female characters under the claimed prerogative of men. In particular, domestic…

    Consequently, her fear of being caught lying lead to Blanche finally revealing her history of promiscuous behavior with men after the death of her husband, Allan Grey. Her actions and preservation of a false narrative allude to Tennessee Williams's criticism of female gender roles in A Streetcar Named Desire. Blanche’s promiscuous nature signifies a sexual freedom that contrasts with whom Blanche believes she should be. Blanche sees her independence as a failure of womanhood, which questions the role of women’s dependence on men and is a social criticism at the time of the play’s publication. In Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, the tune, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” (sung to the tune of the Wheels on the Bus), is sung again and again through the play.…

    The setting of the play is limited to the Kowalskis’ apartment and the street directly outside. Williams' play certainly has unity of place; the entire drama takes place in the French Quarter in New Orleans. This unity of place helps to create the conflict between Stanley and Blanche as a fight for territorial dominance because she is an intruder in his home, bringing values and ideas that he hates. The setting is significant as it helps the audience to realize the conflict between Blanche and Stanley. The bed is a central feature in the setting of the play and the bathroom functions as a place of refuge for Blanche (O'Shea 11).…

    Blanche has been so affected by this experience because of both the depth of her love and because she blames herself. Blanche knows that Allan shot himself because of her words to him, which reveals death to be a major theme in ‘A Streetcar…’ because Blanche is unable to think about his death without with an immense sense of guilt and sorrow. Williams also uses these deaths to serve the purpose of leading Blanche into what becomes her bleak and dangerous past. Blanche’s explanation of her actions shows how psychologically scarred she is as a result of a life burdened with death. She tells Mitch she lived in a house where “dying old women remembered their dead men” and of how after Allan’s death she sought protection “in unlikely places.”…
