A Streetcar Named Desire

But, honey, you know as well as I do that a single girl, a girl alone in the world has got to keep a firm hold on her emotions or she’ll be lost!” Blanche DuBois, the tragically poignant character of Tennessee Williams’ notable play A Streetcar Named Desire, compensated for her disheveled past with fantasies. Scarred by the abrupt suicide of her husband Allen Grey, Blanche gradually slipped into a world governed by her delusions. For instance, she was overtaken with loneliness so she embarked on a conquest to fill the void in her life with love. After many foolish attempts Blanche met Mitch, a “gentleman” whom she believed would replace her loneliness with love and respect. Sadly her ambitious fantasy was destroyed by Stanley’s cruel intervention, and Blanche was once again abandoned by someone she trusted. In the end, Blanche could no

In spite of her evasive past, Blanche once more attempted to replace her loneliness with a loving relationship. Upon discovering his secret, Blanche felt disgusted and concluded that she “failed him in some mysterious way. As a young girl blanche married Allen Grey, who at the time was confused about his sexuality. And so began her downward spiral into a world of mixed emotions and fantasy. As their relationship continued to blossom Blanche’s hopes of marring Mitch grew, and her fantasy was steadily becoming a reality.

However, Stanley had other intentions for where blanche and Mitch’s relationship was headed. One in particular involved millionaire Shep Huntleigh, a “gentleman”, who repented her last chance for rescue. In addition to Shep, Blanche indulged her fantasies with young boys, and consequently lost her job. In short, Blanche’s endless search for love stemmed from Allen Grey’s death, and eventually escalated into a fantasy world.

On the whole Blanche’s lustful fantasies lead to her tragic demise, as did her previous husband Allen Grey. Instead she dealt with the loss by trying to recapture love through various fantasies. Mitch was her security, “a cleft in the rock of the world that (she) could hide in. Labeled as her “executioner”, he was determined to damage Blanche’s Credibility since she had interfered with his dominant lifestyle. When she met Mitch the previous feeling seemingly vanished, and her ultimate fantasy of marriage was plotted. Conversely Allen died a physical death where as Blanche “died” an emotional death.
