HELP!? A Streetcar Named Desire?

help..my final exam is about Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire."..for the exam..i have to write an essay based on this statement:





The world is filled with a diversity of people and cultures. People are often quick to point out what makes all of us different. However, one thing that definitely connects all is their humanity. What does it mean to be human? What is the human condition/ the human experience? Explain how literature captures and clarifies the concept of "the human condition?"





i know the play very well but i cant think of any way that the play relates to this statement..please if u have any suggestions on what i should write about..let me know..thanks in advance =]

I think a central theme in ASND is loneliness, and how people will do most anything to avoid it...in the play they allow themselves to be controlled by Stanley, they lie about themselves, they even lie to themselves...try playing with this idea and see if it pulls at you...

Every human is different making definition wide-open for interpretation. The human condition becomes defined by its human experience. Thus...happy, sad, rich, poor, important, inconsequential, etc.


Literature is as broad as the many definitions of the human condition. The writer's task is to narrow his/her take on all conditions Human. Williams was brilliant at defining and describing intricate parts and moments.
Reply:We are all human and vulnerable. How events change the way we live. The human condition we are discussing is Blanche. Her need for love.
Reply:It is very much about how people need people. Your relationships may be crazy, disfunctional etc. but people need people. Blanche needs to rely on the kindness of strangers and she is crazy as can be, but everyone needs someone and cannot stand alone.
