Post 3

The most important ideas/themes are:

  • Violence: "You can't beat on a woman an' then call 'er back! She won't come! And her goin't' have a baby!... You stinker! You whelp of a Polack, you! I hope they do haul you in and turn the fire hose on you, same as the last time." (pag 73)
  • Death: "... The Geat boy! He'd stuck the revolver into his mouth, and fired--so that the back of his head had been--blown away!" (pag 126)
  • Sex: "...A seventeen-year-old boy--she'd gotten mixed ut with" (pag 133)
The title refers to the name of the streetcar, to trace the visionary company of love.
While I was reading the play, it makes me think about people's necessity. Everyone needs a friend, a relative or somebody to trust and not to feel lonely.
"...Whoever you are--I have always depend on the kindnees of strangers"

If I have the chance to ask the writer I would ask him why Stella didn't help her sister, she was her family too and she needed.
