Streetcar - ideas for thesis

Question 1

Williams use of time and place?

Answer 1

Indeed ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ is focused in portraying a New America through its setting of New Orleans. Williams’ presentation of this modern world is seen through the stage directions, his use of plastic theatre and the presentation of the characters who live within it, particularly that of Stanley. Ultimately, the depiction of such a place is key in highlighting Williams key concerns regarding the conflict between the Old south and a Newly sprouting America.
