Stanley Kowalski in A cable tramway Named Desire by Tennessee Williams In the play, A Streetcar Named Desire, author Tennessee Williams doesa wonderful job developing the character of Stanley Kowalski. To me,his character seemed most deal that of a true person. On the otherhand, Stella, Stanleys wife, is mainly displayed as being the lovingtype, and because that is basically the only character trait shedisplays, it is difficult to really understand her as a person. Thecharacter of Stanley Kowalski is developed much like a real person,having numerous personality traits. One characteristic of Stanley ishis rudeness and cruelty towards Blanche, Stellas sister. It is veryapparent that Stanley does not care for Blanche. Scene eight mentionsBlanches birthday party, and surprisingly, she receives a gift fromStanley. This gift, however, is not one that most people wouldappreciate. Blanche is very surprised to get a gift from Stanley, andas she opens it she says, Why,why-Why, its a- .

From our first introduction toStanley, w hen he tosses the bloody package to Stella, to our last,when he rips the lantern off the light just before the doctor andnurse take Blanche away, we see this man as an expression ofanimalistic territoriality. He uses every tactic possible to exert hispower over a fragile, but threatening woman. Finally, using bruteforce and sexual dominance, he appears to win. In fact however, thewinner is ambiguous if even in existence. A rift has developed in theonly relationship that Stanley values - that between him and his wife,with no promise of a better future.
