...alcoholic, nymphomaniac flight from a tide of troubles: a long siege of family deaths, the withering away of family fortune, the suicide of her young husband, the loss of her home, her job, her reputation. She still clings to a pretense of genteel propriety. But when she crosses Stanley Kowalski, her roughneck brother-in-law, he drags out her past, and thus strips the illusion from the gullible suitor she has all but hooked. Finally, while his wife is in the hospital having a baby, Kowalski brutally ravishes Blanche and pushes her completely over the edge of sanity...
