Analysis of scene 10, A street car named desired. By Tennessee Williams.



Scene ten recreates one of the most important scenes in the sexual tension theme, both blanche and Stanley are bursting rage and anxiety, and this is spoken throughout dialogs and mostly by the stage directions. The last stage direction assembles the discharge of strain desire between these two characters. “She moans. The bottle top falls. She sinks to her knees. He picks to her inert figure and carries het to the bed. The hot trumpet and drums from the four deuces sound loudly.” The author builds these directions with a clear objective, stimulate the reader’s senses. In this case Tennessee Williams establishes an impressive visual description of the situation, nevertheless he just escorts the reader to conclude himself, and he doesn’t reveal the exact fact.



William indicates the ways the characters acts to show how they are, as we can see with Stanley, he show by his acts the macho´s personality that he has, as an example we can se the animal body language. Like a snake, Stanley flicks his tongue at Blanche through his teeth. He corners her in the bedroom, refusing to move out of her way, then “springs” at her, calling her a “tiger” as he captures her. Blanche´s silent resignation as Stanley carries her to the bed indicates the utter defeat of her will.



Also in these seen we can evidence the way Stanley has physical defeat of Blanche, as an example of the way he terrorizes her by shattering her self- delusions.( Pg: 123, Stanley said: Yep. Just me and you, Blanche. Unless you got somebody hid under the bed. What´ve you got on those fine feathers for?) Stanley treats her bad insinuating that he sleeps with a lot of guys and frequently. By other way Blanche´s most visceral experiences are the delusions and repressed memories that make feel Blanche bad.
