A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of A Streetcar Named Desire with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, which tells the story of two very different sisters, Blanche and Stella, who are forced to live together after Blanche loses both her job and the family home. However, the genteel, highly strung Blanche soon clashes with Stella’s boorish husband Stanley, and their volatile relationship hastens her impending mental and emotional collapse. A Streetcar Named Desire won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and is one of Tennessee Williams’ most celebrated plays. Williams’s other works include The Glass Menagerie, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly Last Summer, and he is widely considered to be one of the greatest American playwrights of all time.
