[The low-tone clarinet moans. The door upstairs opens

again. Stella slips down the rickety stairs in her robe. Her

eyes are glistening with tears and her hair loose about her

throat and shoulders. They stare at each other. Then they

come together with low, animal moans. He falls to his

knees on the steps and presses his face to her belly,

curving a little with maternity. Her eyes go blind with

tenderness as she catches his head and raises him level

with her. He snatches the screen door open and lifts her off

her fat and bears her into the dark flat.]

Stanley [with heaven-splitting violence]:

Disturbed Blanche DuBois moves

in with her sister in New Orleans

and is tormented by her brutish

brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski,

while her reality crumbles around

her, just like a paper lantern.

“In Streetcar Williams found

images and rhythms that are still

part of the way we think and feel

and move...In this play as in no

other, williams was able to do his

particular thing, to take the

fragments of his divided self and

turn them into the dratis personae

of an ideal conflict.”
