A Streetcar Named Desire

Metaphorically and symbolically speaking? The conclusion is that the New South prevails over the Old South. When Stanley overcomes Blanche sexually and is the final straw in her sanity splitting, their rivalry is over, as Stanley implied when he says "we've had this coming for a long time."

Blanche represents the Old Guard in every way possible. She was born from a society that valued what bloodline you came from, and not the content of your character. She has old ideals about what is proper socially and her notions of class are outdated, which is embodied in her relationship with Stanley and her references to his "greasy" "ape-like" ways. Even though Blanche doesn't staunchly follow the rules of the world she used to thrive in, she still holds it dear to her personhood. The entire fantasy world she uses as a means to coping with the harsh realities of her life are from that very world. It's the world of her innocence before she primarily relied on her sexuality and the supposed kindness of men to get her around in life after the suicide of her husband.

Stanley represents the immigrant working class, New America in all it's brashness and brutality. He cannot stand Blanche's defunct mannerisms, and knows that her airs will get her nowhere, especially considering the fact she has no right to be self righteous because she lives the life of a hypocrite. When Blanche is being taken away in the car at the end in all her weakness and insanity, Stanley and his world belief prevails, and the Old South crumbles.

In "A Streetcar Named Desire," the two poker games serve as pivotal moments that highlight the tension between the characters, particularly between Stanley and Blanche. The games symbolize the clash of dominance and control, with Stanley asserting his authority over his home and Blanche's fragile sense of dignity. Additionally, they reveal the underlying themes of masculinity and the brutal reality of life that contrasts with Blanche's illusions and romantic ideals. Ultimately, the poker games set the stage for the dramatic conflict that unfolds between the characters.

A Street Car Named Desire setting is in the 1940s, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The play was written in 1947.

It's Only A Paper Moon, a popular song in the 1940's written by Harold Arlen, but has been covered by several artists such as Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald.

The reason Blanche sings that song is due to the fact the lyrics represent two people who live in their own world separate from reality - but because those two people believe in that world, it becomes their own truth, and not a lie. Blanche is notorious for creating scenarios in her head to escape from the harsh reality of the world. She sings this as she believe Mitch will attend her birthday dinner and ask to marry her, despite after lying to him all throughout the summer about the real nature of her character. The irony in this is that while she's singing it, in the other room Stanley is informing Stella about why she was really banished from Laurel, which changes the course of the entire play/movie.

The pure irony here is that while Blanche is waxing poetic about the harmlessness of white lies, Stanley is revealing how hurtful and serious the truth about Blanche really is.

The gender of the child was never told in the book nor the play.

In the play, Stella stays with Stanley. In the movie version, however, she decides to leave him and takes her and her baby upstairs to Eunice and Steve's home.

It's a hotel that Blanche stayed at

English teacher at a school in her hometown.

It's the only way she's even known how to socialize with men. Blanche can never just "be", and have a normal, honest conversation. She relies on being flirtatious and on her dated version of being lady-like, as it's how she grew up in her aristocratic Old Southern upbringing, and the validation she derives from men being interested in her only further inspires that behavior. The fact Stanley sees right through that immediately and doesn't humor her sets the tone for their relationship in the rest of the play/movie.

every now and then steve abuses eunice but they still stay together. they dont break up.

Stanley buys Blanche a one-way bus ticket back to Laurel, Mississippi.

Stella tells Stanley that she was fired.

Whenever Blanche DuBois is stressed or in a moment of anxiety, the music of the Varsouviana plays. The music is what was being played the night her young husband died. Thus, when she feels stress, she is reminded of that night.

The symbolism of the light was truth, Blanche hides from direct light because she can not face the truth.
