Streetcar Named Desire Three Main Characters
2,830 wordsThe themes of Tennessee Williams's Streetcar Named Desire follow Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind: the emotional struggle for supremacy between two characters who symbolize historical forces, between fantasy and reality, between the Old South and a New South, between civilized restraint and primitive desire, between traditionalism and defiance. The New Orleans is one of powerful contrasts: old French architecture and the new rhythms of jazz; a kind of Old World refinement mixed with the gr...

There is Macbeth with his ambition, Oedipus with his pride, Othello with his jealousy, and all the others with their particular odd spots. Then there is Hamlet.
