During our reading of ‘A Street Car Named Desire’, we discussed the elements of zoomorphism and how they suit the characters’ personalities (there was mention of Blanche as a moth, Stanley as a hound, and Micky as a bear). We also discussed the contextual elements of the play, as, it being set in the 1940s, certain aspects would have had a different effect on the audience. We also discussed the last two, probably most influential, scenes (see notes).
