The plays of Tennessee Williams consistently revisit certain conflicts:
– the lonely outsider (and what constitutes outsiderness) in a conformist society
* the demands of the flesh vs. the longings of the spirit
* the present vs. the past (and the tyranny of Time)
* dreams/illusions as necessary mechanisms for survival in a harsh, destructive reality
– Choose 1 of these themes and trace its development in the following 3 of Williams plays:
* CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
* A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
* THE GLASS MENAGERIE
– Remember to announce your specific argument about the chosen topic in your opening paragraph (this is your hypothesis statement). The essay can be organized around particular characters or individual scenes within each play, which best embody the conflict youve chosen to analyze. Be aware of the similarities and differences among the characters/scenes, even though they may embody diverse treatments or aspects of a common theme.
