    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).…

    In Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”, we are introduced to a cast of characters that Williams describes as his “little company of the faded and the frightened, the difficult, the odd, the lonely” – and Williams’ exploration of how these adjectives influence the nature of the characters’ relationships. In Tennessee’s writing, these adjectives typically assume a position in a gender hierarchy, which handily lends “Streetcar” to be read from a feminist critical standpoint. The female…
