Breakdown of Character Analysis
Blanche
Blanche pretends to be a woman who has never known humiliation in the
Kowalski household. Her false propriety, however, is more than just snobbery; it is
a calculated attempt to make herself appear attractive to new male suitors.
Blanche's self-esteem is dependent on male sexual admiration, which means she
has frequently succumbed to passion. Blanche hopes to escape poverty and the
bad reputation that has followed her. Blanche is left with no realistic prospect of
future happiness because the chivalric Southern gentleman saviour and caretaker
(represented by Shep Huntleigh) she hopes will rescue her is extinct. Blanche sees
Mitch as her only hope for happiness, despite the fact that he is far from her
ideal.
Stanley's neverending quest of Blanche dismisses both her pursuit of Mitch and
her attempts to shield herself from the harsh reality of her situation. Blanche's
self-image and sanity crumble over the course of the play. Stanley makes the final
blow to Blanche, destroying the last vestiges of her sexual and mental esteem by
raping her and then committing her to an insane asylum. Blanche eventually lets
herself be led away by a kind doctor, ignoring her sister's cries. Blanche's vanity
and total reliance on men for happiness are summed up in this final image.
Stanley
At the start of the play, audience members may perceive Stanley as an equitable
hero. He is devoted to his wife and devoted to his friends. Stanley has an
animalistic physical vigour that shows in his love of work, fighting, and sex. His
family is from Poland, and he expresses his outrage at being called "Polack" and
other derogatory names several times. When Blanche refers to him as a "Polack,"
he dismisses her as archaic and ignorant, claiming that he was born in America, is
an American, and can only be called "Polish." Blanche does not belong in the new,
diverse America that Stanley represents because she is a relic from a bygone
social hierarchy. As he informs it, he sees himself as a social stabiliser.
Stanley's intense hatred for Blanche is motivated in part by Blanche's aristocratic
past. He also sees her as untrustworthy, and he doesn't like how she tries to fool
him and his friends into thinking she's better than they are. Stanley's hatred for
