Streetcar


"A Streetcar Named Desire" is a typical movie to represent the age of 1950s. The story discusssed a culture clash between two symbolic characters. Blanche is a pretentious woman of the old south; Stanley is a rising member of the industrial urban immigrant class. We could see a lot of disagreement of thinking in the movies. Actually, I have to say that "streetcar" is a nice movie which has good actors and a story. However, I don't like the movie. I don't like what Blanche tried to cherish the old memory of high society in her past. It makes her live in the little world alone. I also don't like Stanley because he is rude to women. Besides, I feel so sad about the plot such as Blanche was raped by Stanley and her sister couldn't believe her. I dislike a tragedy. In my opinion, Stanley is the least sympathetic character in the movie. He is really terribel to me. For example, he is always rude to do something, even he hits his wife Stella and he rapes Blanche. Stella is the most sympathetic character in the movie. She loves her sister. However, she is so helpless to give Blanche some assists in 1950s. In the past wowen could not get enough power to live by herself. She is too weak to believe her sister. Maybe she is wrong, but she has no choice. It is a pity to change the fact hardly.

  1. Hi Joe,

    Thanks for this great post--I agree that Stanley is the least sympathetic character in the play. Even if Blanche and Stella make some mistakes, they try to and want to be good people. You do a nice job of stating your case. What do you think you would have done if you were in Stella's position?

  2. HI JOE~
    I think some how Blanche did somthing that not so good, but Stella did nothing wrong.
    Stanly is absolutely an animal.

    So my point is that Stella is the most sympathetic one, and his husband is the least sympathetic one.
