An example of it is when he .
throws the radio out of the window while yelling at Stella (2094). Again somebody is discussing .
Stanley's power and so he will react to it. Another example is when he is playing cards with .
Mitch, Steve, and Pablo. This happens many times during the play that Stanley is not winning the .
game and that makes him furious. He cannot do anything to win te game and at a climax point he .
rolls the table, he cannot take it anymore (2094). On the other hand, Stanley's character shows .
some weakness toward love. He begs for love, suddenly becoming sensitive. Stanley sobs for his .
wife, the only thing that matters to him in this world (2095). Stanley's idea of power makes him .
impotent to control himself. At some points in the play his power goes out of control. It makes .
him do the worst thing that he might have done in his life, to rape Blanche. Stanley is unable to .
control himself. He is powerful upon others, but powerless upon himself. This drama by .
Tennessee Williams develops the theme of power in another character. In the character that is the .
cause of every conflict, Blanche.
Blanche experiences powerful illusions, which follow her throughout the play. As a older .
sister, Blanche tries to convince Stella about hermarvelous? past. Blanche tries to use her role .
as an older sister, who someone like Stella should listen to. Stella is predetermined to listen to .
Blanche's lies and accept them. Blanche knows that she as some innocent power upon Stella, and .
no matter what Blanche tells Stella she will believe her. Also, Blanche uses her big-sister power .
to give Stella orders. This is shown when Blanche asks Stella for a coke, and Stella runs .
immediately to the drugstore (2086). Also throughout the play Blanche insults Stanley in front of .
Stella. Instead of defending her husband, Stella chooses to listen to Blanche infinitely without .
discoursing her point of view toward Stanley, even though he mens more than anything in the .
