This is just a read that is so debated. Everyone is aware of Tennessee Williams (I mean how can you escape him). It's a quick read and you can find a monologue or two. However it is highly known so beware if you use it for a monologue. Yes like everyone else I think its okay for what it is ( )

A play of stark realism, punctuated with Blanche's imagination. Truly a study of contrasts. ( )

come home with me blanche baby~ ( )

It was okay. Quick enough read and well written, just didn't grab me. ( )

When I was reading the 9nth scene I wanted to rate this play with 5 stars. When I finished it I wanted to give it 1 star.
I hate it.
But it's awesome.

I have strong objections with the last 2 scenes. I don't think they should exist. They're not necessary. The point of the play has already been made and the emotional impact on the reader/viewer is already immense. It's understandable why Williams wanted to go to the extreme but I found it pointless. I felt like he was trying to rip my soul to shreds, and it did the exact opposite.

In all, it's a great play, from one of the masters of the stage, and the value of A Streetcar of Desire is timeless. Regardless of my own objections, it's a play that must be read by everyone who enjoys not only theater, but great classic literature as well.
