Had to write an essay on this book. Looked through the book anyway but this video saved me a ton of energy and time. Lifesaver man

[momobun.]

I forgot how depressing this story is. All the women are victims of Stanley and Stella is now alone with her sister thoroughly traumatized and broken from the rape.

Maybe I’m the one lonelier than Blanche, as it seems I’m the only one here, who’s not writing a school paper on this play 🤣.
Thank you for the summary, I was brought here after seeing the Brando film, wanted to see what they changed.

Like with all writers who's names are taught by default in most schools, people make MANY interpretations about their works. But when it all comes down to it, I think "A Streetcar Named Desire" has a very uncomplicated and simple message about intimate relationships with toxic people. The scene where Stanley screams Stella's name is pretty much the only moment he's painted in a somewhat sympathetic light, he's otherwise short-tempered, rude, controling, manipulative, abusive, violent, petty, pretty much all the qualities of the textbook 'abusive boyfriend' character. He's the closest thing to this play's 'main villain'.
That aside though, reading the full play is VERY time consuming since it's so long. I did read it, but with just how long it is, I can sometimes lose track of how everything went. This video is a VERY helpful refresher. Thank you very much

I feel like all of them was bad in their own way. Also, thanks for the video. I have a 35 paged packet on this and a book with it and you’ve saved me so much time for reading the book. Thanks alot dude.

this was NOT what i was expecting i wanna fight stanely now

[ewaldengelbrecht]

thanks for helping, im writing a test tom about this and i didnt understand anything, bless your soul

Looking at how adaptations of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' have changed over time has been so interesting, from the original script to the Marlon Brando film, and to newer remakes of the play, what a journey it has been. Inspired by the play I have also created a summary and analysis of the play on my youtube channel, and would greatly appreciate any support!

I disliked Stella as much as i hated Stanley when we learned this play at college, now 5 yrs later, seeing this summary i hate Stella as much as i hated Stanley... They're toxic couples, one the abuser and the other an enabler.

[HelloKittyyy]

Thanks! This video was really helpful. 😁

[SujithWasantha-sp]

This video saved my life... everything makes sense now. Thanks

[Havagood]

A very unpleasant tale but well narrated

[PsychicDragon]

Useful Video for A Level english literature, so thank you!

[eesha.x]

This book is so confusing because my opinion is constantly changing about Blanche. And the way she speaks in metaphors and rushed and in long boring speeches is so annoying because I just want a simple book to understand.

[Jazna]

Gawd, this was dreary. Thanks for saving me from watching the movie, even though I adore Vivien Leigh. Good job on the summary and illustrations btw.

[barbieskates]

So thankful for your 12 minute informative things about the movie.
It was very helpful to me in deciding IF I want to watch the movie ..

The movie is absolutely NOT my style.
I did however love Gone With the Wind with Vivian Leigh as Scarlett Ohara

[tempeight]

The scene where Stanley gave Blanche a bus ticket back to Laurel as birthday gift is just a pure comedic one

[vesperrose]

9:35 it should be important to note that Stanley didn’t plan to do what he dose to Blanche it’s only when she start’s acting afraid of him and what he might do to her if she walks by him dose he get the idea to rape her also, please don’t be mistaken that I’m justifying his rape i’m not I am merely explaining his thinking as a character

[bigque]

When Stanley threw meat at Stella what did that say about his character

[erwin]

The book was a bit jarring, this vid helped a lot
