"A streetcar named desire" by Tenessee Williams.
Tennessee Williams was once quoted as saying "Symbols are
nothing but the natural speech of drama...the purest
language of plays" (Adler 30). This is clearly evident in "
A Streetcar Named Desire", one of Williams's many plays. I
n analyzing the main character of the story, Blanche
DuBois, it is crucial to use both the literal text as well
as the symbols of the story to get a complete and thorough
understanding of her.

Tennessee Williams, the author, of the play wrote it this
way on purpose. In fact he once said that "Art is made out
of symbols the way the body is made out of vital tissue"
(Quirino 61). This is a wonderful quotation to show just
how necessary it is to incorporate symbolism in an
interpretation of a story.
