Vibrant, multicultural, diverse, loud, rustic, liberal
- Port city "Vitality, fertility and variety"
- Chaotic environment - hurricanes
1940s - lawful racial segregation
Segregated facilities not considered unequal until 1954
Why New Orleans?
1938 - Tennessee lived there - went to seek acceptance as a gay guy
Lax, liberal
'It's as if New Orleans is a character in this play, one that holds the anxieties..."
Stanley represents - modern masculine world
Blanche - aristocratic and rural - old world
Racial variety of characters
The area is poor with "raffish charm"
In essay ALWAYS MENTION SETTING!
