outline of a streetcar named desire


My thesis is William through Stanley and Blanche's dialogue and action to show us how different desire do they have.
Blanche’s has very strong sexual desire. She was fired by school because she seduced her student. And when she lived with her Stella and Stanley, she even flirts with Stanley. Like when Stella goes out, she asks Stanley to tighten her zipper to her. And even though she knows Stanley doesn’t like her, she still make smile to talk to him. And later, when Stanley’s friend came to his house to play poker, she uses very ambiguous attitude to talk with them. When she first time see the courtesy of Mitchell, she ask her sister about Mitchell right away. And she can even kiss with the collector, the men she never meets before. She likes wanting to flirt with all of men who around her.
Stanley’s desired can’t be control, like an animal. There is no way to know when he would angry; he couldn’t control his own emotion. Like when they played poker, Blanche and Stella listened to music, he wanted them to turn it off, but they didn’t. Then he just throws their radio out from window. And he hits his wife when he was angry, he doesn’t care his wife pregnant or not, when his emotion came in, he doesn’t even know what he does. Finally, he rope Blanche, it may just emotion came in. but it still shows Stanley’s personality is uncontrollable. When he woke up, everything is passed, he missed his wife, then call his wife to come in. in this desire, we would understand Stanley is not mature, he is uncontrollable desire.
In conclusion, the author uses their dialogue and action to show us their different ways of desire, blanche’s controllable desire and eager to have sex. And  to Stanley’s he is too emotional.
