A Streetcar Named Desire demonstrates several emotions; each character has a different strenght and weakness. A question that  I found very interesting was "who do you sympathize with and/or admire at different moments of the play?" Of all the characters I would definitely sympathize with Blanche, mainly because she's had a rough time and nothing seems to look up for her. She's trying to find her self and we know that's not an simple task. In the play you see a little bit of the side she's trying to cover up when she yells to to Stanley "I hurt him the way he hurt me, but you can't! I'm not young and vulnerable anymore." It was such a random outburst, but it showed hurt and confusion. Blanche has such a strong guard up that she's afraid to open up, but as the play progresses layers of her begin to peel back. There's a revelation of her promiscuous past along with secrets from her hometown. As all these secrets come out so abruptly, they take a toll on her and its kind of hard not to feel bad for her.
