Reading “A streetcar Named Desire” has given me a mix of many different thoughts and emotions. For one thing, the character Blanche is a textbook narcicisst. She does things like not giving people an opportunity to talk and then getting upset that the other person hasn’t been engaging and asking her questions. She also has very toxic traits like projecting, and not being able to understand anyone else’s perspective. Everything is egocentric for her. Observing her character has triggered many of my own deepseated emotions because she reminds me of my father and grandmother. That might be too much information but that was my honest response.
I am also very interested in the culture of New Orleans during that time period. I think it is heart warming that Stella broke away from her victorian lifestyle and made a new life for herself that is entirely different from everything she has ever known.
