Is Tennessee Williams′ 1947 play A Streetcar Named Desire a Tragedy, that is, al
Is Tennessee Williams′ 1947 play A Streetcar Named Desire a Tragedy, that is, although written some 2500 years after Oedipus the King, does it use the same tragic structure identified by Aristotle in the Poetics? Answer five questions below to find out.
Please note: This assignment asks you to analyze the play in terms of the ideas that the course has been discussing, and to do your own thinking. It does not call for or require the use of outside sources, and I advise against it. Should you choose to consult outside sources, be sure to cite them accordingly by putting phrases or sentences that you have taken from outside sources in quotation marks, and acknowledging each individual idea that is not yours when it appears in your text. (It is not enough to simply provide the name of a Website to cover your entire essay.) Failure to properly cite outside sources will result in a failing grade for this assignment.
Let me reiterate: Every semester I′m forced to fail students on this assignment for using ideas and phrases taken from uncited sources. Please do not do it. The easiest way to avoid plagiarizing is to not consult outside sources and do your own thinking.
Before you answer the questions below, first copy and paste the questions into a blank document, and then write your answers underneath each question in essay form, i.e., with complete sentences, proper grammar and spelling and linear thought. (None are simple “yes” or “no” questions; you are expected to support your answers, and direct references to events in the play and passages in the text that support your answers are encouraged.)
When you have finished, to submit the assignment look for the button that reads ″submit assignment″. Once you click on that, it will open the text entry box. Copy and paste your finished assignment, proofread it, and then click on the ″submit assignment″ button on that page to actually submit the work.
Each question is worth 10 points. You can access the grading rubric for this assignment here.
Questions
1. Does the play have a protagonist? (Remember, Aristotle states a Tragedy can only have ONE protagonist, and that protagonist by definition has a need, a praxis, that creates the cause-and-effect structure of the play.) If so, who is it? What makes you think so? Why that character, and not another? 2. Is there a praxis, that is, a need by the Protagonist which drives the main action and results in an organic, cause-and-effect structure? If so, name the praxis. Or is the play episodic, lacking a praxis and thus Unity of Action? Either way, explain your thinking; this means detailing the plot structure, showing how each major event DURING the play does — or doesn′t — lead to the next. (This excludes backstory, the events that happened before the play begins, such as the death of Blanche′s husband, etc.) Let me remind you that Aristotle says a Tragedy must have a cause-and-effect structure; if you believe Streetcar is episodic, then there is no protagonist. Also, the time-frame of the play is unimportant; a play can take play over a day, a week, months or years and still be organic, as long as the chain of cause-and-effect is present.
3. Does the play have a reversal, that is, a moment when it looks like the protagonist will fulfill his or her praxis, and then suffers a serious setback?
4. Is there a recognition, a moment that marks the end of the praxis and gives the protagonist a new understanding of the world and/or their relation to it? If there is, what is it, where is it, who has it, and what makes you say so? If there is not a recognition, explain why not.
5. If there is a recognition, does it result in a change of status for the protagonist? What makes you say so? Or not?
