As Albert Einstein once said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”. In “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams, Stella and Blanche are persistent with their illusions about their life being great while, in reality their poor, alone, and depressed. On Pg.1232 Stella states, “I couldn’t go on believing her story and live with Stanley”. Stella’s stubbornness of not realizing her sister’s actions proves, Stella only cares about herself and her relationship with Stanley. Stella’s repetitive ideology (which is a fantasy) consistently show her persuading herself that Stanley is a great husband and he would never do anything to hurt her. Clearly, she tries to hide his mistakes and doesn’t think anything of them. Overall, this proves women are complacence sometimes in the situations that they’re currently in whether, if it’s good or bad. Psychological, humans try to envision a “Dream Scenario” and will try to do the best of their abilities to achieve it so others can see but, internally they’re not satisfied with the results and are hopeless they will never “Touch the Stars”. An outside connection would be Ron and Sam’s relationship during their show “Jersey Shore”.
The personification of a “Perfect Marriage” is not completely impossible. However, this is not what Stanley and Stella’s relationship is currently. The justification of inappropriate, barbaric, actions performed by Stanley are fine according to Stella. An example of this is when Stella states on Pg.63, “But it wasn’t anything as serious as you seem to take it. In the first place, when men are drinking and playing poker anything can happen. It's always a powder-keg. He didn't know what he was doing…”. This exemplifies how alcohol can be a major factor in actions that presently happen in whatever scenario it may be in. But, even the abuse of alcohol has proven that Stella protection of her image and her relationship with Stanley must be saved.
Even though, Stella is a fictional character her situations arises into different people from the real world such as Ron and Sam from the Jersey Shore. Throughout, the historic TV show the meeting of these two individuals couldn’t result in a more soap-opera/ love fantasy relationship that lasted over six seasons. On Episode 307: Ronnie catches Sammi macking on another dude and flies into a rage, going home and trashing all of Sammi's stuff and throwing her mattress out onto the porch. She leaves the house that night and everyone is relieved, including the mattress, which has seen some terrible, terrible things (Vulture.Com). Eventually, throughout the seasons the constant breakups and getting back together were at high rate. For example, Episode 403: Ugh, they're back together. "Obviously, I love you," Ronnie confesses on a rooftop in Florence. It is actually romantic (Vulture.Com). Clearly, Stella and Stanley are present day Ron and Sam.
All in all, Tennessee Williams were prone to put real life occurrences in his play. Although, there are more people that relate to Stella’s situation, Ron and Sam from the Jersey Shore are a clear prime example. This is only one scene in this historic play. What others can relate to the outside world?
