For the love of Goth

A street Car named Desire
Desire is what takes people from place to place. While I saw the street car named "Desire" bring Blanche to this urban town in New Orleans, I thought may be she is chasing her desire to be with her Stella after a big loss of property. We soon realize that she is hiding her true self and her true desires with her outward appearance. For her every day is a show that she presents and I could relate this to the story Behind a Mask. Blanche has desire to attract a male partner. She often talks about that husband that passed away who was really premature may be because she is very lonely and wish to be with someone perhaps someone like Stella's husband. The movie was weird in a sense but very Gothic at the same time as there is an internal struggle and a state of uncertainty of emotions.

I really liked your first line! Certainly fits into the movie. You bring up a lot of good points that I never have thought of. I never thought of Blanche having a desire to be with Stella. I just assumed she wanted to visit her for a while. The way you say that she is hiding her true self and desire, it almost seems relevant to "Behind a Mask."
ReplyDeleteWhile I do not doubt that Blanche wants to be with her sister, I think she is only there out of necessity. It is discovered in the movie that this was not the first place that Blanche has been since leaving her family's estate. I think that she was ashamed to see her sister because she had been living out on her own, and here she was having lost the family estate and not having a penny to her name. If she had other options I do not think that Blanche would have gone to stay with her sister.
