A Streetcar Named Desire.
I really enjoyed this play. I use to dread reading plays rather than seeing them because I found it harder to get into the story. However, when I read this, it changed my whole perspective on reading them. This story is rich with detail and feeling. The characters and setting took me to a pleasant place in my mind. I liked the setting greatly. I've never been to New Orleans, but Williams painted a perfect picture of the festive city. Stanley Kowalski is a great character. He's very much of man in every way. His sense of humor is great and comes in at the right time. The language is also interesting. The local slang of the characters definitely shines. Even though swear-words were used, I wasn't offended; they were properly used and added color to the dialogue. Characters were not just swearing to fill-up dead-air, they had meaning and power behind them. I hope to discuss this play in class and get the insights of my fellow classmates.
