Zusatztext

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, University of Tubingen (Englisches Seminar), course: Literary Studies, language: English, abstract: I will argue that "A Streetcar Named Desire" illustrates different aspects of femininity in the context of post-war America through the two main female characters Blanche DuBois and Stella Kowalski by demonstrating their dependence on men. In the analysis of how Williams illustrates these different aspects, I will examine their characterizations as well as their individual relationships with men in order to demonstrate Williams intention to portray them as women who are dependent on men.
