Ultimately Antoinette has a fate quite similar to her mother. Unlike the classical bond between mother-daughter bond, Rhys makes it fragile and breakable to symbolize the “lack of sustenance and definition offered by the motherland to its dependencies” (Ranjan, 49). Like the legendary Phoenix, Antoinette rises from the very ashes of Bertha from Thronfield Hall to tell her version of the story which was so ever denied in Jane Eyre. Gayatri Spivak generously speaks about this resurrection in her essay by contrasting Rhys’s novel with Bronte’s. She praises Rhys for not sacrificing Antoinette, a woman from the colonies as in insane animal.

He is half correct in his statement as a theist does not believe in the proofs individually, but finds enough evidence in them to form the belief that God does exist; He is the creator of the universe, and He is morally perfect. McCloskey touches on faith in his article. It is defined by Tillich: as the state of being ultimately concerned as claiming truth for concern, and is involving commitment, courage, and the taking of risk. Theists have faith in God, and treat Him as the most important person in their lives. To have faith in someone on past knowledge, according to McCloskey, is reasonable however; it is unreasonable to have faith in God as we have no past knowledge of God.
Williams utilises symbolism believing that “expressionism and all other conventional techniques in drama have only one valid aim, and that is a closer approach to truth.” In similarity to other writers (William Faulkner) in the high modernist period Williams investigates the darkness of southern gothic by the potent symbolism on his tragic fantasist heroine. Her home in Laurel represents the idyllic dream of the southern past with its pride and riches. However there is a distorted veracity in these ideals: “…she has decked herself out in a somewhat soiled and crumpled white satin evening gown and a pair of scuffed silver slippers” Here Blanche effectively summarises her own delicate past. Blanche’s “satin” and “silver slippers” emphasizes wealth, directly corresponding to the old South’s slave-based rise to power. However the undeniable connotation of the hendiadic “soiled and crumpled” suggests overuse and corruption, deflating the ethereal beauty behind the retrospective view of the old South.

The protagonist Blanche Dubois enters the play. She arrives in Elysian Field to stay with her sister Stella. She looks out of the place as the play says "her appearance is incongruous to this setting she is daintily dressed in a white suit with a fluffy bodice, necklace and ear rings of pearls, white gloves and hat, looking as if she was arriving at a summer tea or cocktail party..." White color is the symbol of purity and virginity. Blanche is not pure and nor is she virgin which we find later on. So Williams has ironically given her this dressing. "
A Streetcar Named Desire Critical Essay ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ written by Tennessee Williams is a play which the dramatist explores the conflict between reality and illusion. Blanche DuBois, a character who represents illusion and fantasy, goes to stay with her sister, Stella, and her husband Stanley, who represents brutal reality. From the start, Williams portrays the conflict between Blanche and Stanley and uses various techniques, such as costume, characterisation and symbolism, to convey their ongoing battle. Blanch lies as her desire to be loved and protected from her traumatic past is overpowering, and, in the end, she is defeated by the harsh reality that is Stanley. This resolution is satisfying as it shows that desire is destructive, and that merciless reality wins over illusion every time.
