A street car named desire(sections 4-7)
The short story, "the open boat " is a story based on the author's own experience of a crew that gets shipwrecked. It takes in 1897, and uses constant ideas of imagery and descriptive wording to create realism in a sense that the reader knows exactly what is going on in the novel and feels like they are actually there to experience it.The book contains blunt and abrupt material in it like the previous short story but this one doesn't seem as violent. In the book,Street car named desire, the story more in depth about Blanche,and her interactions among other characters. It is presented to the read about Blanches's views to Stanley and how Stanley reacts upon. Stella puts herself in more denial of the situation. It becomes incredibly obvious that she is aware of her abusive relationship,how ever the story has not truly stated why she continues to be with Stanley.Like many of the other social issues shown in this play thus far,Class still seems to be a major one. Earlier it was stated that class depicted the interactions among different characters and how it would vary the way they treat each other. This idea ,however changes in the story. For example,Blanche,having more of a higher class,it would be expected that she would look down upon characters such as Stanley and his friends,and earlier on in the book, this is exhibited. But in the sections,4-7, Blanche is seen having a decent conversation with Mitch,a friend of Stanley who,compared to Blanche,is of lower class.There is in fact even a love interest presented between the two,which is later ruined by Stanley. It would appear that instead of seeing herself more than those of lower class,Blanche's class makes feel she is higher than those who are of low life living or those who act like savages and animals like Stanley,which would explain her view on him.Like the short story,the play still portrays lots of realism and short dialogue,except for long monologues in street car that are important for the plot development. The dialogue is most important because by analyzing what it means and why it's used you find out a lot about the character and their significance in the play. For example,Mitch is presented to use short and abrupt Dialogue. Most of his lines aren't long paragraphs unlike the other characters.. This says that Mitch is the "true Southerner' in the story,with no showing emotions,nor emotional appeal to any topics. Even when he was talking about his mother dying,he didn't sound or uneasy talking about it. It could be inferred that his significance in the play is to play the role as the "contented one" in the play,which is interesting due to the love interest that develops between him and Blanche.The idea of class defining the ability of people to connect with one another is a problem because it causes people like Stanley to act out the way he does.By being treated like a lower individual ,he ends up embracing that idea out of spite or by accident. In a way,this is how criminals are made,as scene in modern day society. This could be remedied if people weren't so quick to judge and let there pride down to accept new people in their lives.
