“A Streetcar Named Desire” Personal Response As a young damsel in Belle Reve, I was frequently reminded of the old cliché to “never judge a book by its cover”. Perhaps this was an attempt to teach my younger self the importance of seeing the beauty in all things despite their external appearance, but nonetheless, the lectures of my youth were of no avail.

think that one person that inadvertently taught George some hard life lessons was Ed Hanby. Ed teaches two valuable lessons. The first one being that everything can change in an instant. When George is with Belle things seem to be moving in Georges favor but then Ed comes marching in and takes Belle. The lesson is that there is really no rhyme or reason to why things happen like they do but you just need to make the best of it and George does by moving on. If he had dwelled on it he probably…

Blanche lost Belle Reve, she moved into the Flamingo hotel and became a prostitute. Not long after she moved in, her actions got so bad that she was forced to move out. Stanley also says “All this squeamishness she puts on! You should just know the line she’s been feeding to Mitch. He thought she had never been more than kissed by a fellow! But Sister Blanche has no lily! Ha-ha! Some lily she is!” (Page 98). Not only did Blanche make up this illusion that her life since losing Belle Reve was…
