Austin Suess 10-30-14 5th AE 11 An Important Ending All the scenes in A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams have a compelling meaning to the overall play; each scene plays a role to determine the themes, symbols, and the characteristics of the story.

In Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire Blanche Dubois’ doom is hinted in the first scene when she asks if she has arrived at Elysian Fields. It is very clear that her desires are associated with sex and alcohol, however, it is questionable if the Cemeteries was the death of her relatives in Belle Reve or her own demise, and if her…
