Title: Blanche’s Fantasy: A world created in A Streetcar Named Desire

Many times, people escape into a fantasy world because they cannot deal with reality. Other times, people forget about escaping into that world and decide to face reality. However, in A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, the theme of fantasy’s inability to overcome reality is extremely prevalent. Blanche DuBois not only escapes into a fantasy world, but uses that fantasy world to lie to the others around her. Instead of always telling the truth, she tells “what ought to be the truth.” Blanche truly believes she is living in reality and therefore, is unaware she is fantasizing.
