Tram Williams Desire
The play takes place on the squalid outskirts of New Orleans. This place itself was lost. It was to this city that a tram named “Desire” arrived. He brought Blanche Dubois, a girl who experienced a lot of failures. Here she tries to find peace, or get a temporary shelter, where you can rest without thinking about anything. Here lives her sister Stella with her husband Stanley.
Blanche comes to his sister in an elegant white suit, gloves of the same color, and a hat. She looked like a resident of an elegant aristocratic neighborhood. She was very surprised at the wretchedness of her sister’s house, she could not hide her disappointment. Her nerves are long past the limit, the woman begins to drink.
For ten years since the moment my sister left, Blanche has experienced very much. Died parents, had to sell a house, which had already been laid several times. The house was called “Dream”. Stella sympathizes with her sister, while Stanley takes it
Stanley is pretty cautious about everything new and alien. He absolutely does not believe Blanche, namely, that selling a house was an absolute necessity. He believes that the woman took all the money herself and bought expensive things. Blanche also sees the man as an enemy, but does not give a look. Especially she ceases to conflict with her sister’s husband when she finds out that she is pregnant.
In the Kovalsky house, Blanche met an instrument-making toolmaker, Mitch, who was a quiet and calm person, living with a sick mother. Mitch liked Blanche pretty much, namely, her fragility, defenselessness. He likes that she is absolutely different from the familiar girls. She knows French,
At the same time, Stanley always looks to Blanche. He looks like a beast who is preparing to jump. Once he overheard the conversation of the two sisters, in which Blanche expressed all Stella. He heard that the guest considers him an animal, does not teach, advises Stella to leave him. He harbors all the great evil. Stanley begins to make inquiries and finds out that Blanche is far from flawless. After the death of her parents and her husband’s suicide, she warmed many men in bed. Such information for Stanley was provided by a visiting traveler, in whose bed she also visited.
The day comes the birth of Blanche. She invites Mitch to the table. Not long before, the man had practically made a proposal for Blanche. The woman sings and bathes in the tub. She does not even suspect that Stanley told the whole truth about her Mitch. He did not believe it at first, but when he made inquiries about it, then all Stanley’s words were confirmed. Stella was simply shocked by her husband’s cruelty. Mitch – it was her only chance to start a life with a clean face. Already all sat down at the table. Blanche was surprised that Mitch did not come. She was preparing for the worst. At this point, it finished off Stanley. He, as a gift, presented her with a return ticket to Loreal, where she came from. Mitch does not approach the phone. In the last conversation he said that he knew everything about her, that he made inquiries about her. She was lying about her past, and about her real age. It was because of age Blanche preferred to meet with Mitch in the evening, in the twilight. Because of the excitement of Stella, premature birth begins.
Returning from the hospital, where he took Stella, Stan sees that Blanche had had a pretty good drink. Her thoughts are completely confused, she is not herself. It seems to her. that a millionaire will soon arrive and take her to the sea. Stanley has a great mood, a baby should be born by morning. But it disappears when Blanche says that Mitch came with a basket of flowers to ask her forgiveness. Stanley is angry. He can not understand why she should ask for forgiveness, because she is only fit to sleep with her. Realizing that the matter becomes very dangerous, Blanche tries to escape, but near the door the man grabbed her and carried her to the bedroom. When Stella returned from the hospital, Stanley Blanche was sent to a psychiatric hospital, because no one believed that Stanley had raped her, and even the day before her baby was born.
Blanche completely loses his mind. She was very frightened to see the doctors. Fright passed only after the doctor began to talk politely and affectionately with her. His softness fell on a woman’s liking. At the end of the play, she pronounces the phrase, according to which her whole life depends on the kindness of the casual comers.
