Blanche - Stella
Stella´s Position is between her husband Stanley and her sister Blanche. She tries to find a compromise until she decides to deceive Blanche and to go on living with her husband.
-The most obvious comparison between Stella and Blanche is that they are sisters, but Blanche and Stella more many differences than similarities. They have different ideals on their relationships, self images , lifestyles and deceptiveness. However, because of their shared origin and family, they do share a few unique qualities. The events of their lives have caused them to become different in many ways; yet, their shared blood still shines through and shows that family never completely fades away in time.
-Der offensichtlichste Vergleich zwischen Stella und Blanche ist, dass sie Schwestern sind, aber diese Blutbeziehung schlägt andere Ähnlichkeiten zwischen den zwei Frauen vor. Blanche und Stella mehr viele Unterschiede als Ähnlichkeiten. Sie haben verschiedene Ideale auf ihren Beziehungen, selbst Images, Lebensstile und Täuschung. Jedoch, wegen ihres geteilten Ursprungs und Familie, teilen sie wirklich einige einzigartige Qualitäten. Die Ereignisse ihrer Leben haben sie veranlasst, verschieden auf viele Weisen zu werden; noch scheint ihr geteiltes Blut noch durch und zeigt, dass Familie nie völlig rechtzeitig verklingt.

    In the commencement of the play, Blanche is quickly described as a damsel in distress. She is portrayed as a wealthy woman “in a white suit with a fluffy bodice, necklace and earing of pearl, white gloves and hat…” (5). She resembles an embellished white moth. The fact that she is forced to live with her younger sister Stella and her domineering husband truly shows that Blanche is in a truly desperate situation. Her overall character is depicted as a traumatized woman that is in complete desolation. Experiences such as witnessing her family on a “...Long parade to the graveyard” (21). Being forced to live with your family until their tragic demise would emotionally and mentally torment anyone. She lives inside of her own world in which she…

    Blanche’s fall from grace would not have been as devastating if she had grown up anywhere but the traditional, family-oriented, socially cruel South. And surely strong, confident Stella would not have stuck with the crude, abusive Stanley had she lived elsewhere, somewhere far away from the dirt and commotion of New Orleans in the forties that obscured the chaos and brutality occurring behind its closed doors. But the women are Blanche DuBois and Stella Kowalski, not the Bennet sisters. As the Old South began to die, they looked for salvation in different directions, both ultimately ending in tragedy. That place, that time, was just not hospitable to the women. So Stella became submissive, the archetype that would soon pervade 1950s Americana, the woman that exists to serve her man, who exists to serve himself. And Blanche became an anachronism, a “woman out of time”, literally and figuratively. Her flourishing springtime had long past. And that hot, horrible summer in New Orleans ushered in the fast-approaching fall of regrets and broken dreams, the autumn that doomed Blanche to a mental…

    One theme is the dependence on men. This is shown all throughout with not only Blanche, but also Stella. It ranges from the time Blanche contacted Shep for finacial support,or to Stella staying with Stanley even after he abused her. Light is another theme that is evident in this story.

    A Streetcar Named Desire, a play by Tennessee Williams, takes place in New Orleans in the mid-1940s. It follows the lives of Stanley Kowalski, Stella Kowalski, and Blanche DuBois and the story about a woman coming to visit her sister, which ends up going just as bad as any family reunion has ever gone. From the moment Blanche got to Elysium Fields, her and Stanley, Stella’s husband, appear as polar opposites and are constantly at war with each other. They never can agree on anything, are always arguing and shouting at one another, and want the loyalty of Stella all for themselves. Their constant power struggle can only end with one character the victor and the other leaving defeated. One of the main themes about conflict is that Stanley and Blanche are in a battle to win Stella and neither of them will give her up. However, Stanley and Blanche represent something bigger than two conflicting characters. Blanche represents the old south, with dying traditions whilst Stanley represents the new south where chivalry no longer exists and it 's every man for themselves and just like in real life, the old south is overcome by the new south.…

    Blanche dwells in illusion; fantasy is her primary means of self-defense, both against outside threats and against her own demons. But her deceits carry no trace of malice, but rather they come from her weakness and inability to confront the truth head-on. She is a quixotic figure, seeing the world not as it is but as it ought to be. Fantasy has a liberating magic that protects her from the tragedies she has had to endure. Throughout the play, Blanche's dependence on illusion is contrasted with Stanley's steadfast realism, and in the end it is Stanley and his worldview that win. To survive, Stella must also resort to a kind of illusion, forcing herself to believe that Blanche's accusations against Stanley are false so that she can continue living with her husband.…
