Analysis of messages and methods Williams employs to set the stage at the start of Scene 1 in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' Why not share your reflections and interpretation in the comments below!
THIS WAS AMAZINGG ! PLS DO ONE FOR ALL THE SCENES I BEG U !!! also could you consider doing the handmaids tale and frankenstein as that is really challenging for me
Wow! This has really aided my understanding and I really feel I am at a disadvantage with my knowledge of the text, thank you so so so much Miss Hanna L Grammar! You are a saint :)
i would agree with you entirely the way in which Williams presents New Orleans gives it a very high status and comparing it to another would almost sound silly - also I think he does this intentionally so that the reader when they are first introduced to Blanche are already aware that she will not fit in from how she is portrayed as a "southern belle" which makes her different from the rest of them and it is right in saying she has to fight and adapt to survive here - and as we see later in the play this causes her hermatia and its quite Ironic how cemeteries are mentioned as it adds to this idea of a continuum of decay which in fact represents the life of Blanche herself. Williams uses Elysian Fields purposely to hint to this idea of the hero's and that they end up there because essentially this is what happens to Blanche and shes now trapped there because of her past
Thanks for this analysis Miss Hanna. I have a question that’s been bothering me for months on end now and I’ve been too anxious to ask my teachers and am unable to find anything online. *How are we meant to structure the average A Level english literature essay*. -I am aware that it should be 3 main body paragraphs -I am so confused about questions that ask about a the presentation of a certain theme, what would be the overall argument in this case and what would be the individual points? Thanks a lot, in advance. You’re a real saviour👏
Focusing on how a theme is depicted or presented can feel rather daunting - you ask a great question here. I recommend you analysing the big ideas ahead of any examination through detailed essay plans. There is ultimately a limited bank of questions that can be asked on theme... Prompts I use: How does the writer choose to introduce this theme? Consider stage directions and symbols Which characters grapple the most with this theme? What lessons do they learn? Why might the writer push this theme? What are they suggesting to an audience. Consider context, intentions and if there is meant to be closure at the end of the play with this theme. Hope this helps! :)
