In this video, we take a deeper look at one of the most universal themes in Tennesee Williams’ play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’: love. In a play where almost all characters have such amplified personalities and egos, is there still room for them to ‘love’ each other? And perhaps more tellingly, do they even love themselves…? I’ll be referencing specific moments from the play to illustrate my argument and ideas, so stick around for the whole video if you want some top grade ideas for your next exam or essay!

this is so helpful- really loving the streetcar videos! is there a chance you could do a video on past v present for streetcar?

That's an interesting idea - how do you mean by past vs present? As in, the past of the antebellum Southern aristocracy vs the post-WWII present of a more multicultural, immigrant America?

@@JenChan yes! also the tension between Blanche's past and her unstable present/ future in New Orleans and the relative connotations of the shifts in culture, female expectations, etc :)

Thanks for the feedback! AIC isn't really a focus for me right now, as I'd like to focus on higher-level texts. That said, perhaps I'll put out some AICs when I have more bandwidth in the future!
