On-Demand, Wednesday
Write an essay in which you discuss the functions of one of the characters from A Streetcar Named Desire. In your essay, you may want to focus on that character's traits and behaviors (STEAL), how those behaviors and traits are punished, rewarded, or go unnoticed by the other characters in the play, and finally how Williams uses the character to reflect and critique some aspect of society.
