this book will stay forever with me, will reread a lot of times
really does showcase “the destructive power of society on the sensitive non-comformist individual” 

please do analyze it in depth, you won’t regret it. and look at literary analysis because this play is full of symbolism that is so interesting to explore

I read this for school and I was okay. i feel like Blanche is a character that will stay with me, but the play is forgettable besides that. I don’t think this is a play would read in my own. And I don’t think I’ll read anything else by this author. It was fine, just dated and not my style.
