<A Streetcar Named Desire> was published in 1947 and won Tennessee Williams the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize, putting him in the ranks of mainstream American playwrights. It was also made into a movie, and Vivien Leigh as Blanche and Marlon Brando as Stanley gave passionate performances, winning four Academy Awards: Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Art Direction. It is a work that delicately depicts the conflict between human desire and frustration, hope and reality, with elements of individualism and materialism turning into warm humanism and spiritualism. Blanche, a typical outsider with a sensitive personality who cannot settle for reality and lives only by holding onto past fantasies, is placed in Stanley’s world, which is both sensuous and extremely realistic, and portrays the conflict between two different characters.
