Mental Health in A Streetcar Named Desire
Today we’ll be talking about the topic of mental health, which is heavily pushed in the story A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. We’ll talk about the main character Blanch DuBois who suffers from PTSD and struggles with her mental health, society’s perception of mental health during the late 1940s when the story takes place, and how society today sees and treats mental health.
