  25. BLANCHE: I was so exhausted by all I’d been through my – nerves broke. [nervously tapping cigarette,] I was on the verge of - lunacy almost! So Mr Graves…suggested I take leave of absence.”

  26. Explore the presentation of desire in A Streetcar Named Desire. You must relate your discussion to relevant contextual factors.

  27. “There’s something downright bestial about him!” “He acts like an animal, has an animal’s habits!...There’s even something – sub-human – something not quite to the stage of humanity yet! Yes, something ape-like about him, like one of those pictures I’ve seen in anthropological studies.” “Stanley Kowalski, survivor of the stone age!” “Don’t – don’t hang back with the brutes!”

  28. There are thousands of papers, stretching back over hundreds of years, affecting Belle Reve as, piece by piece, our improvident grandfathers and father and uncles and brothers exchanged the land for their epic fornications—to put it plainly! . . . The four-letter word deprived us of our plantation, till finally all that was left—and Stella can verify that!—was the house itself and about twenty acres of ground, including a graveyard, to which now all but Stella and I have retreated.

  29. Explore Williams’s presentation of illusion and reality in A Streetcar Named Desire. You must relate your discussion to relevant contextual factors.

  30. I am not a Polack. People from Poland are Poles, not Polacks. But what I am is a one hundred percent American, born and raised in the greatest country on earth and proud as hell of it, so don’t ever call me a Polack.

  31. It's really a pretty frightful situation. You see, there's no privacy here. There's just these portieres between the two rooms at night. He stalks through the rooms in his underwear at night. And I have to ask him to close the bathroom door. That sort of commonness isn't necessary. You probably wonder why I don't move out. Well, I'll tell you frankly. A teacher's salary is barely sufficient for her living expenses. I didn't save a penny last year and so I had to come here for the summer. That's why I have to put up with my sister's husband. And he has to put up with me, apparently so much against his wishes.... Surely he must have told you how much he hates me!

STANLEY: Some canary-bird, huh! STELLA: Now please tell me quietly what you think you've found out about my sister. STANLEY: Lie Number One: All this squeamishness she puts on! You should just know the line she's been feeding to Mitch--He thought she had never been more than kissed by a fellow! But Sister Blanche is no lily! Ha-ha! Some lily she is!
