A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

4.0

I've had to read, analyse and annotate this book for A level English literature and surprisingly I actually really liked it. Its alot different to what I what would go for but I'm so glad it was given to us to read. It covers much more serious topics such as mental health, racism, sexism and the expectations of women in that time period. It definitely opens up your eyes to the problems in the past and that some of these things still happen today. The play centers around the character of Blanche to who is a very complex character. She is someone who you want to dislike but like at the same time. You sympathise with her and yet don't at the same time - along with other characters too.
4/5
