Desires......................................
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennesse Williams is a play deals very much with the theme of illusion and fantasy. The protagonist in the play, Blanche, is a thirty-year-old lady who dwells in her own illusions. This is why she keeps telling lies to people around her because she could not confront the truth and also her own weaknesses. She is a very inconfident person who loses her faith in herself day by day as she grows older. How sad if one has to put herself in her own fantasy world just because she could not face her real true self and reality of life. On the other hand, Stella also is a victim of her own illusion. She has married an abusive and brutal man but she does not intend to make a change. In the end, she chooses to let go of her own sister but stay with her wild husband. I think this thene is even relevant to our life because we do find someone that they do not believe the truth because that will lead to the tragedies and problems which they do not wish to confront with. However, avoiding a problem does not promise the resolution of the obstacles.

With all Blanche action, I agree with what Miss Bong said. However, it is quite shocked when you said that Stella is also a victim of her own illusion. From what I think that Stella is being comfortable to live with Stanley, even he is abusive. This is an 18sx play, and I do think that there are some people like to be abuse in order to satisfy their needs. Thus, I think Stella is one of these kinds of people who like to be abuse and then being persuaded by her husband. Stella don’t want to avoid her problem because she likes being with Stanley and not that she has the problem.
