Contrast of Blanche and Stella
Sex and desire are key themes in the play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, of which highlight the differences between Stella and Blanche Dubois. Sex is a motif throughout the play which acts as a destructive force that signifies violence, mental degradation, the sullying of a good reputation, and financial ruin. Sex is viewed opposingly between Stella and Blanche; sex is a key attribute for Stella in her life as her relationship is based on sexual desire, which allows her to be accepted in 1940’s New Orleans as part of the working class. On the other hand, Blanche viewed sexual desire as a requirement to earn her own safety and protection - not for romantic or emotional means. Sex is the cohesion holding the marriage of Stella and Stanley together. During Scene 7, Stanley argues with Stella about Blanche while she is bathing, he explains how he has been asking around about Blanche and discovered she was banned from “hotel Flamingo” for sleeping around with multiple men, but the men “got wised up after two or three dates with her and then they quit, and she goes on to another, the same old lines, same old act, same old hooey!”. This proof explained Blanche’s desperation when she arrived at “Elysian Fields” as she had lost her positive, bourgeoisie reputation. Blanche lacks the emotional correlation between sex and desire, unlike Stella who simply desires a sexual relationship with Stanley. However, Blanche shows disgust over her behaviour after losing Belle Reve through her excessive bathing. At the beginning of Scene 7, Stanley is complaining to Stella over Blanche and her habit; he expresses his annoyance as the “temperature 100 on the nose, and she soaks herself in a hot tub”. Williams uses symbolism through Blanche’s continuous bathing to signify Blanche purifying herself from her sins. Although Blanche claims she bathes repeatedly to “calm her nerves”, though the real reason Williams creates this symbol is to show Blanche as wanting to cleanse herself from her past. Bathing ultimately symbolises Blanche’s guilty conscience. As well as the opposing views on sex between Blanche and Stella, they are also presented by Williams as character foils through their relationships with Stanley and Mitch. Stella does not hold a false image toward Stanley - she does pretend to be the woman she was in Belle Reve; she accepts her new societal position within her marriage. However, Blanche puts on a facade, especially in front of Mitch, though Mitch seems to enjoy the illusion Blanche creates for herself as she appears pure, clean and loyal. An alternative reading of Blanche’s sexual desire being purely for male protection, instead of love, could be linked to the contextual background of 1940s New Orleans as women were viewed solely as commodities at that time. Blanche created the perfect allusion of herself, specifically toward men, to ensure she maintained the same level of value she procured while living on the Belle Reve plantation - the image commonly linked to the archetypal southern belle. Opposingly, Stella accepted her new value when she married Stanley; a working-class man immigrant. In conclusion, Williams created the theme of sex and desire throughout the play to amplify Stella and Blanche as contrasting characters through their opposing views on sex and their dissimilar desires in relationships.
