“After all, a woman’s charm is fifty percent illusion”
This quote goes back to the idea of Blanche Dubois being stuck in a fantasy world and how she has the need to be desired. She says this Eugene. The journey that Blanche described when she is in the streetcar. It is clear that Williams used goes into a deeper meaning that with research I was able to interpret. Going back to research the name of Stanley Kowalski’s street name, “Elysian Fields” actually means in Greek “the land of the dead”. This is later used as an explanation on the death of her social life when her sexual desires for Stanley leads to the expulsion of her hometown in Mississippi.

    Prompt: How is the theme of appearance versus reality dealt with differently in A Streetcar Named Desire and Blue Jasmine? “Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.” However simple these words may seem, this is perfectly epitomized by Tennessee William’s theatrical masterpiece, ‘A Streetcar named Desire’ to the modern adaptation ‘Blue Jasmine’ directed by Woody Allen. A streetcar named Desire and Blue Jasmine touch on the same themes and consequently share multiple similarities and scant differences between Blanche Dubois from ‘Streetcar named Desire’ and Jasmine from ‘Blue Jasmine’.…

    The Journey being the means by which we discover ourselves, involves the exploration of the self, as individuals review their development and growth in the light of experiences which inspire and/or challenge them. This journey can be seen as the result of personal growth, a result of pain or acceptance of consequences. As you will soon see, from comparative texts such as the play called Cosi by Louis Nowra, and a picture book called Rose Blanche by Ian McEwan, the experience and extent of the inner pain may differ to ultimately end in a similar kind of journey or one completely different.…

    The title of this play can be deceiving, but in actuality this play shows the twisted boundary between reality and illusion. Blanche and Stella cross the border between reality and illusion many times in the story. Although, distinguishing which is reality and illusion is quite a difficult task. Tennessee Williams uses symbols, stage directions and mood to show how Blanche’s world differs with that of reality. Meanwhile, Stella suffers a world that is as real as Blanche’s world.…

    In A Streetcar Named Desire, playwright Tennessee Williams gradually reveals Blanche’s intense disillusionment with the aid of stylistic elements. Although her situation significantly contrasts the extent to which Stella and Stanley view reality, all three share an underlying similarity of attempting to avoid it. Williams uses the recurring theme of illusion versus reality in order to further portray the imperfection of his play’s characters. Blanche’s world is an illusion when she repeatedly attempts to escape the harsh circumstances around her, her past, and the lack of true confidence in herself. When Blanche moves into Stanley and Stella’s apartment, she immediately feels out of place and unwelcomed.…

Her job as a school teacher puts her in the position of working with children, as seen in the Old South. She wants to depend on a man, like Mitch, because she believes he will take care of her.…

    Blanche’s relationship with bright light reveals the most about the complexity that subsists beneath her vanity. Blanche associates bright light with both love and awakening: she describes falling in love as “suddenly turn[ing] a blinding light on something that had always been half in shadow” (Williams 67). However, it also reveals the harshness of reality and she dims the lighting (with the paper lantern) to maintain an illusion of “magic” and present “what ought to be truth” (Williams 84). Blanche associates bright light with a time when her life truly was magical; Blanche was young, beautiful and in love before her life was stripped away and her persona suddenly displaced.…

    “All of us grow up in particular realities-a home, family, a clan, a small town, a neighborhood. Depending upon how we’re brought up, we are either deeply aware of the particular reading of reality into which we are born, or we are peripherally aware of it”(Chaim Potok). The definition of a relationship between man and women has adjusted with our ever changing society, while some people are able to adapt with societies modifications, others are too intune with the ideals they grew up with.
