. .
Themes
Theme 1 The reluctance operating theater inability of people to accept the Truth. Blanche lives in a cocoon of irreality to protect herself against her weaknesses and shortcomings, including her unfitness to stifle sexual desire. To preserve her egotism, she lies or so her promiscuous behavior in Laurel; she shuns blinding light, lest it reveal her physical imperfections; and she refuses to acknowledge her problem with alcohol. Stanley effectively penetrates her cocoon verbally with his crude insults and physically with his sexual surprise attack left the end of the play. Stanley has his own problem: He lacks the insight to see what atomic number 2 really is�a coarse, domineering macho man ruled by central instincts. Unlike Blanche, though, he is happy in his ignorance. For her part, Stella accepts the trueness�partly. She acknowledges that Stanley is crude and that her apartment is cramped and shabby. But, in the end, she refuses to admit the trueness about her sister�s past and about Francis Edgar Stanley�s violation of Blanche. �I couldn�t conceive [Blanche�s] story [about the outrag] and advance living with Stanley," Stella says.
Theme 2 The final devastation of the Old South, symbolized by Blanche and Belle Reve (the fellowship property seized by creditors). This theme�not unlike that in Margaret Mitchell�s Gone With the Wind�begins to blossom in the inaugural scene of the play out. Two women, one white and unitary black, sit as equals on the steps of an apartment building while Blanche arrives happening scene accoutered in the attitude and finery of a southern belle of yesteryear. She is an extraterrestrial being, a unnaturalized creature from another time, another place.
Musical theme 3 The despoliation of the sensitive and feminine by the feral and masculine. Blanche and her first married man, a homosexual, cannot pull through in the world of Stanley and his kind. Stanley is a robust weed who grows in Blanche�s with kid gloves cultivated garden of lilies.
Theme 4 Unbridled sexual desire leads to isolating darkness and eventually death. Roger Williams establishes this theme at the beginning of the play, when Blanche takes a tramcar named Desire (sex), transfers to one called Cemeteries (Death), and gets off at a street named named Divine Fields (the Afterlife). He maintains the theme during the play with references to Blanche�s first husband, a homosexual World Health Organization committed self-destruction after she caught him with another human race, and with Blanche�s misprint and figurative retreat into the shadows after having galore sordid affairs. She shuns happy lights; she dates Mitch only in the evening.
Theme 5 All that glitters is not atomic number 79. This Shakespearean motif manifests itself in Blanche�s unfitness to grasp how Stanley and Stella can succeed at marriage without the finer things of life.
.
....... The climax of a play or another literary composition, such as a short story Oregon a new, tin can be defined as (1) the turning point at which the conflict begins to resolve itself for improve or worse, OR as (2) the final and most exciting event in a series of events.
