Question:I'm doing an analytical picture for a streetcar named desire. My idea is to have a picture of Stanly holding a big torch and shining it on Blanche, and whatever the light shines on becomes reality.

for example. blanche is wearing a white dress, but the torch shines over part of her dress and that part turns red. also the torch shines abit on the floor of the apartment and there r beer bottles where it is shined on.

What i'm going for is that Blanche lives in illusion but stanly shines the light on her to show the reality, and reality wins over illusion.

Can you think of things i can add to my picture such as, things the light is shined on, or things that blanche uses to live in her fantasy world.

Perhaps a photograph of Blanche's deceased husband smiling, but the part the light shines on is covered with blood.

I like your idea.

Fantastic idea,

why not have have the light shine on either her head or fertility area and have the image of stella coming up just after she has been raped. To show that blanche is trying so hard to grasp onto her perfect world but deep down she knows the truth.

good luck.

You only to show the streetcar named desire on a new orleans street.
