The text studied is an extract from the first scene from A Streetcar named Desire, a play written by Tennessee Williams in 1947. The scene takes place in New Orleans, at Elysian Fields, where Stella Dubois lives with her husband Stanley Kowalski. Her sister, Blanche, comes to visit her. How does Tennessee Williams reveal that the characters try to conceal their difficulties ? First we are going to present Stella’s life conditions. Then we will see that she is submissive to her husband, and finally we will notice that Blanche is putting on appearances.

I – Stella lives in poor conditions
a) Stella only has got the downstairs of a house, she lives in two small rooms with her husband Stanley. She is embarrassed but she seems to accept it since she doesn’t complain.
b)
c)

II – Stella seems submissive to Stanley
a) Stanley comes in and talk to Stella as though she was a housemaid : “Catch !”, “Meat !”. He doesn’t say a word like “please” or “thank you”, and he doesn’t even take the trouble to make sentences. However, Stella accepts to obey and laughs.
b) Stanley immediately leaves with his friend without a word. When Stella ask him where he is going, he just replies “Bowling !” and let Stella come with them but he goes out without waiting for her.
c) Stella is crazy about Stanley. She can’t stand it when Stanley is away and she cries when he comes back (“And when he comes back I cry on his lap like a baby...”). We can assume that Stanley is very precious to Stella, that’s why she seems submissive to him and she loves him despite all, despite Stanley’s coldness and their poor conditions.

III – Blanche is not fine and is putting on appearances
a) Blanche smokes and drinks a lot (“I look around for some liquor! “, “[Nervously tamping cigarette]”, “[She drinks quickly]” ) to forget her problems and to look like fine, but her behaviour shows that something goes wrong. Actually, she says later to her sister that she is not fine : “Because--as you must have noticed--I'm-not very well...”
b)
c)
