Abstract: | Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire(1947) highlights, through portrayal of typical Southern character, Blanche and Stanley, and their personal narrative, the nation's trouble in transition during postwar America when the country was transforming into harmonious, prosperous and equitable society, the people went through different sorts of troubles because the war had not only destabilized the country physically, but also it had caused social, moral and cultural destruction. So, the people were in the process of nation building and they were rebuilding their lives. This has been beautifully shown through the southern representative character, Blanche and Stanley and his wife, Stella, who find themselves into constant conflict due to their respective beliefs in tradition, culture and modernity. In this way, all this reflects America's trouble during the transitional period. |
