Streetcar Scenes 6-9 Due Tuesday 10/6

READ SCENES 6-9



1. Do  you remember the quotes I gave you in the beginning? Choose one of the two quotes and apply it to any character in the play. Explain how your interpretation of the quote applies to this particular character/conflict/event in the play.

2. A closer look at Darwinism and "survival of the fittest". Charles Darwin studied the theory of evolution  as a natural philosopher at Cambridge during the 19th century. The idea behind "survival of the fittest" is part of what is called natural selection. However, as time went on and  ideas regarding social darwinism began to erupt and evolve many people discuss the concept of "survival of the fittest" in simple terms ... Only the strong (fit) survive.

Discuss the play as it can or cannot be seen as somewhat Darwinian in nature. Please provide at least 2 concrete examples to support your ideas.
