In A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams, the characters presented represent Williams' vision of society. In Streetcar, Williams has created a means to observe and reflect on the darkest aspects of society and the result of these social downfalls. Williams portrayed numerous social downfalls, such as the idea that he (or she) who tries to hide his true self and lie to the world mostly ends up hurting himself. This statement, which lies just beneath the surface in Streetcar, reflects the difficulties Williams had in finding his place in life. Williams created this play as a kind of "slap" to a society that rejected Williams and his way of telling the world: "If you keep acting like this, the whole place will go completely crazy!" This is clearly seen in both the suicide of Blanche's young husband and her descent into madness. Another collapse Williams highlights is the idea of ​​the “macho-male,” which extends to homophobia. Stanley is of course Williams's characterization of this personality type, and it is his brutality and chauvinism that lead Blanche to sink completely into the depths of madness. By raping Blanche, Stanley not only exerts his physical power over this disruptive woman in his life, but is attempting to show the world (and himself) that he is not homosexual. In the character of Stella, the reader's main reaction is to support her and identify with her, but in reality she represents the kind of person who has given up on the ideals she once knew and has, in a sense, joined forces with the enemy. She abandoned Blanche at Belle Reve and has now settled for mediocrity. At the end of the show, our sympathies go to Blanche because she was looking for security in the world and found herself alone and crazy. Williams reminds the reader that, in this world, everyone strives for safety and it was this natural desire that plunged Blanche into madness..
