I'm trying to parse my feelings on this one. I liked it a lot up until the last scene. It left a bad taste in my mouth at the end, even though I know that was a deliberate choice on Williams' part... Definitely check the content warnings if you want to read it. It didn't ruin it for me, but it definitely left me with a lot of conflicting feelings and a lot of things to think about.

I want to explain the graphic content warning for mental illness. This spoils the ending of the play in detail.

In the last scene, scene eleven, a doctor and a matron show up to the apartment to hospitalize Blanche. There is mention of a straitjacket, but the doctor says it won't be necessary. Blanche is hospitalized seemingly because she is a compulsive liar, hears music that isn't there, and has developed a delusion.

This ending just seemed very out-of-left-field. It greatly affected my enjoyment of this great play. I know that this is deliberate on Williams' part to showcase Stella's character (

she sees the best in everyone, after all, no matter what

) and the negative stigma surrounding mental health and how it's treated. It's just a massive bummer, and I tend to enjoy reading bummers.

The gradual development of the story was incredible. Most of the characters were assholes but surprisingly it was still enjoyable to read.

Had to read this for class. None of the characters but maybe Mitch is likeable and frankly I am tired of plays that are pointless tragedies. It would've been different if there were good or hopefull moments but this been depressing from start to finish.
