A review by haaannahr
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

FUCK YOU STANLEY!!

throughout the whole read i felt so much for blanche. whilst some of her past (sleeping w a student) is unforgivable, i can’t help but love her character for all her flaws and her anxiety excellently presented by williams!!!! i imagine the play on stage is even more tense and therefore heartbreaking, but i even nearly teared up just reading it

all blanche wanted was to be valued. her delusions remind me of willy loman - she thinks more of herself than she actually is. ARGGHHGHHF blanche…
