Even if you're not a feminist, the treatment of women in "A Streetcar Named Desire" is probably going to get you down. But Tennessee Williams wasn't interested in simply wallowing in 1940s female misery. Check out this 60second Recap® to see why "A Streetcar Named Desire" is actually a call for change.

And I guess this is why in the movie version, Stella leaves Stanley with the baby ! But there's one I think you should have mentioned ! The street car named desire is also about the end of an era. I mean, Blanche is the clear representation of the rich and aristocratic south that is slowly disappearing vs Stanley, the immigrant living the "american dream" and in some way remodeling America. Plus the fact that it represents a new wave of immigration (1st the founding father, 2nd working force)

Forgot to mention that Stella was extremely sexually attracted to Stanley for some reason. After being beaten up they have sex. Sure she might not be independent, but she still loves him.

First off, Stella is MARRIED to him; it's not undesirable that she is sexually attracted to him. Secondly, Stanley did not beat her for nothing. She attacked him first while he was throwing the radio at the window. Then she went to the card table and attacked his poker cronies. Blanche is the plague here. She has been told to turn off the radio once, but she did it again. If she had had a modicum of consideration to her brother-in-law and sister's living condition, there wouldn't be such chaos. Makes you think it was Blanche's intention to destroy the marriage. As in, "if I'm not happy, my sister can't 'be happy, either." Blanche is a mendacious, annoying parasite, who thinks nothing of treating her sister like a servant. If I'd been Stanley, I would have thrown her out of the house sooner.

Stella didn't need change. She was happy with her choice of lifestyle. That's right - choice; she had freedom of choice. In the movie version, Stanley didn't beat her up without provocation. Stella clawed at him first as he threw the radio out the window, then she went and attacked his gambling cronies. All because her lunatic sister, who has been warned not to turn on the radio, did it again. Stella also earned her keep as a housewife. She did the house chores and was determined to keep and take care of her baby, and that's as important a job as Stanley's earning a living and bringing home the bacon. Stanley obviously loved her and they had great sex together within their marriage. Who should have changed was Blanche, the mendacious, manipulative, sex-starved sister-in-law from hell, a parasite who lived off her sister and brother-in-law's dime while treating her sister like a housemaid and a sounding board, and mocking her BIL to his face as "common." Such an ingrate. She hogged the bathroom to herself, dimmed all the lights, and sprayed perfume and talcum powder in a place that was not hers. She refused to help her sister with the housework and felt entitled to be served. Her lunacy and 15-years unhealed widowhood were no excuse for all the evil things she did, the most despicable of all was flirting with her brother-in-law (really!) I don't believe she was raped. In the original script, she simply dropped the broken bottle top, collapsed on the floor, and allowed Stanley to carry her to bed. That's not rape. It seems her aim was to destroy her sister's marriage, as in, "If I'm not happy, you can't be happy, either." In the movie version, the marriage broke up (Stanley deserved to be punished) and Blanche won the battle, even at the expense of her totally losing her sanity. The marriage broke up. Perhaps Blanche thought it was all worth it. If she was what the old South represents, I'm sorry for southerners.
