- Thesis Statement: Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, is 1950’s classic enriched with elements of both imagination and realism.
- The play incorporates figurative concepts such as music, recurring memories, and a New Orleans setting to effectively develop the characters of the play.
- For example, the Varsouviana is a recurring symbol used in developing the character of Blanche. The music symbolizes the fact that she is not yet completely over her husband’s death. Through this, the reader discovers that Blanche remains a prisoner of her past, and carries deep emotional baggage.
- The naked light bulb, another symbol used in the play, symbolizes Blanche’s impurity and devious past. The paper lantern is portrayed in contrast to the naked light bulb symbolizing the many ways in which Blanche attempts to secrete her past.
- Lastly, the irony of the names of Blanche and Stella are portrayed in contrast as well. The name Stella, which literally means star, is often associated with a bright and leader type personality. Stella however is more a follower than a leader. She does not stand up to Stanley’s violent demeanour, choosing to accept it instead.
- The name Blanche, which literally means white, is quite the opposite of her character as well. Blanche has a very impure past with the numerous times she has been involved in lustful affairs with men.
- Overall, the play A Streetcar Named Desire, has tremendous symbolic value through which the characters of the play are developed.

Conformity takes many varieties. For example, why “society” unearths it irrelevant for a teenaged woman to put on a tuxedo to promenade. To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, “to be best is to be misunderstood”; normally society is so blinded through its possess "norms” that it does not admire the real which means of an person notion. Instead, society locations useless strain to comply at the person It suppresses person concept and movements, deeming them “irrelevant”. Society does now not have the proper to forbid the person from “pay attention[ing] yet another drummer” and dwelling lifestyles in some way of which others would possibly not approve. The conventional pull of society, the “deep ... ruts of culture and conformity” - on this case, what's viewed "appropriate" feminine apparel - hinders individuals from developing into their possess folks. The refusal of the ones in energy to enable a scholar to specific herself via alternative of apparel exemplifies that the ones with manipulate, the bulk, think the proper to appear down upon an person. It is the person's proper, in any respect she or he chooses, to specific their kind of lifestyles freely and unopposed, so that they many “take delivery of the[ir] situation..for [themselves".

Other than the title of the play needing quotation marks, it all sound great.
