Blanche, the main character of William's play "A Streetcar Named Desire", evokes many mixed emotions. Analyzing one's emotions towards Blanche is not an easy task, to do it effectively it is necessary to divide the work into different parts and analyze them separately. The problem with Blanche is that she presents a character so confused in her motivations and opinions that you never know if it's really her or an act she's putting on. The audience will find itself constantly readjusting its position towards Blanche and the other characters as the play unfolds and we learn more about her history and the reasons for her inadequacies. Williams makes sure that nothing is black or white but grey, so that in some moments of the play we struggle to find a reason for his cold manipulation and hunger for power while in others we feel compassion for his pathetic life founded on lies and misconceptions . Even when she tries to break off the relationship between Stanley and Stella we don't immediately brand her as a villain, we remember that if Stella hadn't left perhaps Blanche would have become what she wanted to become rather than what society had imposed on her. become.When we see Blanche for the first time we immediately know that she does not belong to Stella's neighborhood, she is "delicately dressed" and her "delicate beauty must avoid strong light", she seems in a quite hysterical state but we can assume that this is normal as it is "incongruous with this setting". He seems to have difficulty speaking normally with a black person, so much so that we can already place the origin of his upbringing in the South, probably in one of those huge mansions that housed rich white slave-owning families. As the scene unfolds, the image of the rich, somewhat sheltered... middle of paper... and thinking about her and the play will feel sympathy or at least pity for Blanche. What Williams demonstrates with this play is the power of memories and the ruthlessness of society. Works Cited and Consulted Brownmiller, Susan. Against our will. New York: Bantam Books, 1975.
