After watching the film, which character has made a vivid impression on your mind?

After watching the film I thought the character of Mitch has made a vivid impression on me. This could be as over time Mitch‘s character has adapted to show how easily we can be manipulated in to believing the lies can be the truth. “All that stuff and let my best friend get caught” suggesting how sometimes we can be the last to see the truth, and how we can be guided round the truth in order for others to hide from us. This idea is clearly presented when Mitch confronts Blanche for lying about her age. “I don’t mind you being older than I thought” Through this we do not only hear the disappointment in his voice but also the automatic act of forgiveness that Mitch gives Blanche. Within this act of forgiveness we can personally relate to him. He also presents how even when we have forgiven people we cannot always invite them straight back in to our lives “You’re not clean enough to bring in the house.”

Finally, the last aspect of Mitch’s character that has made an impression on me is the idea that even if someone lies to us/ holds back the truth, we do not ever want anything to happen to them that they do not deserve “You! You did this,” elaborating the idea that we still continue to care for those who might have done us wrong.

She may have survived.” -Christopher Lehmann-Haupt,  The New York Times                                                                              ...

The Streetcar Named Desire and Belle Reve The desire line The desire street line ran from 1920 and ran down royals, usually being seen through their apartment windows it ran through shopping areas on royal and canal streets, passing night clubs on Bourbon Street. It was named Desire as its service ended at Desire Street. In the early 1940's New Orleans public service, Inc. (NOPSI) and the city were considering transforming the street cars in the French quarters into bus routes, in which the Desire passed through at that time. As stated in  Times-Picayune on July 27, 1940:“Principal complaint against the streetcars has been that their vibration is responsible for much of the property damage in that part of the city, and that their noise and difficulty in negotiating the narrow streets, especially during the busy hours, unduly disturbs the residents.” Residents also disagreed with the modernity represented by the streetcars, which they considered “out of ke...
