A Streetcar Named Desire

Blanche sees Stanley as interesting, but "interesting" in the same regard that humans might find a bug or a car-wreck interesting. Stanley sees Blanche as annoying and as a burden. Something about her, though, sparks something in him, which eventually leads to the rape and subsequent sending-away of Blanche. So it was neither love, nor hate, nor anything else in between; it was her interest toward him, and his lust(?) toward her.

Six thirty-two, Elysian Fields, New Orleans.

Blanche talks about light and how things are lighter with love. Before love, she lived in half shadow.

It literally means 'beautiful dream' in French. Superficially, it refers to Blanche and Stella's ancestral home in Laurel, Mississippi. On a deeper level it is referring to the illusion, the dreams, that each of the characters aspires to have.

In the vein of the topic this query falls under, I assume you are wondering how it ties in with Stanley's abuse of Stella; it does - in a serious way. Stella is holding on to her beautiful dream of her family - the husband and child she is carrying (later has) are her beautiful dreams. She makes choices throughout the play that show her Belle Reve is more important to her than are the (what are now - not then) acceptable social norms.

Stella took the abuse from Stanley - and indeed admitted it turns her on a bit (adrenaline rush does that). This abuse was not behind closed doors as most was in the late 40s but out in the public - in full view of family and friends. This meant her Belle Reve was obviously not in contradiction with reality - unlike Blanche's.

If you mean the movie, it's 122 minutes. As a play, obviously it varies depending on the pacing of each individual production.

Blanche claims that she left because of her nerves, but really she was kicked out after she had a relationship with a student.

The most important themes are Illusion versus Reality, The Destructive Nature of Time, The Old South versus the New South and Loneliness and Isolation

1951 was the year in which "Streetcar named Desire" was first shown as a movie. Written by an American playwright Tennessee Williams it had been previously staged as a play in Broadway and other theaters.

Strange relationship, because Stanly beats her and she runs off but always comes back (pretty sure there is more to this).

because she is a smelly girl

It foreshadows the play. The play onyl contains a few characters from the community and the SD examine the whole community describing the place within the characters live. It foreshadows the play.

Just answered on separate post but basically it means he won on a longshot bet. Children used to bet each other on who could hit the rooster weathervane on top of country barns. Ergo, hot the ol weather bird.

In the play, the character Blanche DuBois references taking a streetcar that runs on Desire Street, which is the actual name of a street in New Orleans' 9th ward. The Desire trolley line operated from 1920 to 1948.

Streetcars revolutionized urban transportation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, enabling cities to expand outward and promoting suburban growth. They facilitated easier access to different parts of the city, encouraging residential and commercial development along their routes. This shift allowed for denser urban planning, changing the social and economic dynamics of cities by making them more interconnected. Ultimately, streetcars contributed to the rise of modern urban environments, shaping the layout and lifestyle of metropolitan areas.

It was Vivien Leigh, actress in a Streetcar named Desire.

It projects Stanleys disrespect for Stella and general women. It also shows his power, masculinity and agressiveness, creating a sense of foreshadowing.

what part of the male body is used to describe meat the male part that's why the black woman starts laughing because he threw his meat at her nothing complicated
