Imaginative Writing Ideas

• Write a monologue with Blanche expressing her feelings after Mitch ‘dumped’ her. The style should be stream of consciousness with Blanche sounding confused and desperate. The character chosen can be based on Blanche but mirrors her state of mind.
  
• Write a scene where there is a group of men playing cards and drinking. This is based on Stanley and his mates. They act in a chauvinistic manner and generally deride women. The inspiration for this talk is Stanley’s growing frustration with Blanche’s presence in the house. The language should be colloquial which would be characteristic of the sort of language they can use.
• Write an exchange between a psychiatrist and a nurse from a mental health facility. The nurse is reporting to the psychiatrist regarding the progress of a character based on Blanche. The psychiatrist also tells the nurse of some of his observations in respect of the file he has on this character.
• Write a personal piece from the perspective of Tennessee Williams, reflecting on his life and experiences as inspiration for A Streetcar Named Desire.
