A Streetcar Named Desire, by Tennessee Williams tells the story of Blanche DuBois, a woman who, having lost her home in Belle Reve, comes to New Orleans to stay with her sister, Stella and her husband, Stanley. It quickly becomes apparent that Stella’s world is very different from what her sister expected, and Blanche is in constant conflict with Stanley, whom she finds rude, uneducated and disgusting. After a violent episode he has, Blanche urges Stella to leave him, but it is clear that Stella has no intention of doing so and that she will put up with anything he does. In return, Stanley warns Stella against her sister, telling her she is not who she claims to be and that her past is much dirtier than the version she tells people. When Blanche falls in love with Mitch, one of Stanley’s friends, and hopes that he will be the one to marry and save her, Stanley tells Mitch all of Blanche’s secrets. Therefore, Mitch leaves her and she becomes more and more unwanted in Stanley’s household, despite Stella’s efforts to make him go easy on her. He buys her a bus ticket and tells her he wants her gone, after which he abuses her. In the last scene, when Blanche has lost everything, she is taken away by doctors, delusional and consumed.
