Tennessee Williams’ classic play explores the toxic side of masculinity, its disregard and abusive nature. In the post-modern world of the ‘Me Too’ movement and the downfall of Jeffrey Epstein, it remains an essential text to study. I have taught this text many times over the last 20 years and I have used this specific resource (revised): to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet/Skype Lessons), as a homework assignment and also as a tool of revision – All have worked well for the students.
This dynamically illustrated PowerPoint lesson (23 slides) provides a step-by-step guide to essay writing, focusing on the question:
The leading theme within ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ is of course, ‘desire’ itself. Discuss the varying representations of ‘desire’ within scenes 1-5.
This is a complete resource, with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
