	A Streetcar Named Desire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blanche arrives at the house of her sister Stella Kowalski in the French Quarter of New Orleans, where the seamy, multicultural ambience is a shock to Blanche's nerves.
		Stanley is described by Blanche as a "survivor of the Stone Age" and is further depicted in this primitive light by numerous traits that he exhibits: uncivilized manners, demanding and forceful behavior, lack of empathy, crass selfishness, and a chauvinistic attitude towards women.
		Stanley, as a result, is a symbol for the rising new values and attributes of industrial, capitalist America that has come to replace the chivalric codes of the dashing gentleman caller of the Old South.

		Stanley is increasingly rude, and Blanche is fully aware of what he suspects: she sends Stella to get a soft drink for her, and tells Stanley to ask away.

	Streetcar stops at South Coast Rep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the symbolic personages of Stanley Kowalski and Blanche DuBois, Williams not only pitted an eroding Southern gentility against the coarseness of post-war working class America, he created two genuinely resonant archetypes of male and female vanity.
		Assuming the burden of such weighty history, director Martin Benson and South Coast Repertory have staged a faithful, competent revival of "Streetcar" that is illuminated by a fiery, star-making performance from Kandis Chappell as Blanche.
		Stanley Kowalski is a crude, loud and overbearing man of whom Blanche acidly observes, "Thousands of years have passed him right by." The rest of the play focuses on the escalating tension between these two opposites.

		For Stanley, the apartment is a lair where he makes love, loses his temper, invites his friends, throws dishes, drops beer-bottles and charges through without noticing the furniture.
		Blanche's relationship with her sister is most precisely defined: the confrontation between one who has learnt to live honestly, grabbing happiness where she can, and a self-styled 'heroine' for whom the dry rot in the facade is destroying the foundations.
		More important, the 'desire' between Blanche and Stanley never really took flight: as a result, the crucial scene when he takes her to bed didn't seem inevitable, because there had been no driving buildup of the animal magnetism between them.
