I repeat here the II question of the last test, for those who did not answer it (or think they have handed defficiently). Please write your commentary on the comment box (around 25 lines). Remember that although this question was not graded in the text, this kind of work counts for continuous assessment. And, most importantly, for your practice!
Below, you will find a quotation from Blanche Dubois’s speech in the
play A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee
Williams (1947). Taking it as inspiration, produce a commentary on the
subject(s) of realism and/or relativism of truth / moral values in US post-1945
literature, bearing in mind at least two
texts studied in class.
“I don't want realism. I want magic!
Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I
don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth. And if that's a sin,
then let me be damned for it!”
(A
Streetcar Named Desire: a play in three acts. New York: Dramatists Play
Service Inc., 1947, p. 84)
