own desires and urges. What really makes A Streetcar Named Desire such an
exceptional literary work is the development of interesting, involving
characters. As the play develops, the audience sees that Blanche is less

The Modern World Needs A Don Quixote
Number of words: 1375 | Number of pages: 5.... squire. In his deranged state, Don Quixote sets himself the task of defending orphans, protecting maidens and widows, befriending the helpless, serving the causes of truth and beauty, and reestablishing justice.
