The play
reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman
whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her
to reject—so far as possible—the realities of life with which she is
faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear
upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans,
intensified by the earthy and extremely "normal" young husband of the
latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the
end, to madness.
