Lillie kindly recommended www.sparknotes.com as a useful source to get overviews of what happens in Streetcar, character information and also some points on context. Feel free to have a look at the website but be aware that the information sparknotes gives you MUST be complimented with your own personal analysis and critique.
To achieve the highest grades this year you need to probe more deeply. By all means use sparknotes as an initial point of reference but compliment it with your own insights as you think about how Williams presents tragedy in Streetcar.
To remind you all, you should be aiming to comment on:
1.Content (What is happening, being said, being thought etc)
2. Form (Williams dramatic methods - how is the drama presented? Stagecraft)
3. Effect on audience (catharsis) – the ability of the tragedy to elicit an audience’s response (arouse anger, fear, pity, grief etc)
