Stanley
  1. Character
    1. Stanley represents the lower class of New Orleans, and he lives a basic, fundemental life
      1. He is often referred to as a caveman, as in chapter 1 he is seen coming home with "raw meat" a traditional activity of hunting and gathering done in the pre-historic era.
        1. Scene 8. The verbs "spears" and "stalks" has connotations of caveman hunting
        2. As a result, he doesn't own much property and isn't very wealthy, so when he hears about the loss of Belle Reve, he is threatened by it because it is a source of income for him and Stella
        3. He believes in passionate, sexual love and Blanche cannot understand why Stella would fall for such a brute
          1. He is loud and gaudy, as sees by the "brilliant silk bowling shirt" he wears and his "gaudy pyjamas". He is also very loud in his speech and asserts himself as the alph male
            1. Relationship with Blanche
              1. In the opinion of Blanche, Stanley is a brute, an animal and a caveman and she sees herself as intellectually superior to Stanley
                1. "A cultivated woman, a woman of intelligence and breeding...I have those things to offer" (pg 93)
                2. The mere presence of Blanche annoys Stanley and he has a short temper with her. Scene 3, pg 31. The phonology created by the imperative "Turn it off!" shows his anger and resentment towards Blanche's actions in his home
                  1. The phonology "I've been onto you from the start!" (scene 10) highlights the menace and malicious intent in Stanley's voice and his desire to hurt Blanche
              2. The American Dream
                1. Relationship with Stella
                  1. After the fight in scene 3, it is clear that Stanley is remorseful and regrets his actions towards Stella. The stage directions "he falls to his knees" suggest Stella has power of him in this situation as she is the one who has to make the decision whether to forgive him or not. This shows that Stanley genuinely cares about Stella
                    1. This role reversal is seen again through the adverbs "slowly" and "clumsily" when Stanley is trying to apologise to Stella. Also the colloquialisms "Stell" and "Honey" shows how he is using terms of endearment to fix their relationship
                      1. The imperative "I want to know why. Tell me why" shows how Stella is demanding and strong as she stand up to Stanley. The short sentences show how serious she is
                      2. Page 35. The dynamic verbs "charges" and "advances" create animalistic imagery and suggest Stanley is uncontrollable and aggressive in their relationship.
                        1. "I am the king around here, so don't forget it" (scene 8) uses metaphoric language to present Stanley's threatening behaviour. This declarative sentence shows Stanley asserting him dominance
                          1. "got to tolerate each others habits" (pg 41/42). The verb "tolerate" shows how she almost blames Stanley's anger on herself to avoid the fights and she feels like she just has to get on with it
