【正确答案】正确答案：A Streetcar Names Desire

【正确答案】正确答案：Tennessee Williams

【正确答案】正确答案：Firstly, Desire refers to the streetcar named Desire, which symbolizes Blanche" s desire, not only in spirit, but also in psychology. Although Blanche arrives in New Orleans as a somewhat broken woman, she keeps alive her desire to be with a man and to lead a life as an elegant, respectable woman. Secondly, characters who have desire are not only Blanche, but also Stella, Stanley. Each time just after Stanley beat Stella, he will beg for her return at once. And Stella forgets her being beaten and will miss Stanley just after she leaves Stanley. This is the desire of them two. Thirdly, unbridled sexual desire leads to isolating darkness and eventually death. Williams establishes this theme at the beginning of the play, when Blanche takes a streetcar named Desire(sex), transfers to one named Cemeteries(Death), and gets off at a street named Elysian Fields(the Afterlife). He maintains the theme during the play with references to Blanche" s first husband, a homosexual who committed suicide after she caught him with another man and with Blanche" s literal and figurative retreat into the shadows after having many sordid affairs. She shuns bright lights; she dates Mitch only in the evening.
