streetcar

finally, there is "streetcar named desire" by tennessee williams, which is in fact my favorite story from this quarter. not only for the bold and well thought out characters and storyline, but also the issues that were discussed in such. williams, being a homosexual in a time where being such was similar to having the plague, in this story he discusses the issues with such, but also speaks of addiction and a woman's insanity. after doing my final presentation on williams i am going to be biased in thinking anything negtive about him, because he was such a great playwright, and explored ideas that none other would think to mention. even though some were forwned upon, he never lost his audience, and still has them today!
