Power Dynamics: Blanche and Mitch


Description

In this lesson, students read and analyze Scene Six of A Streetcar Named Desire, in which Blanche and Mitch return from their date. Students read the scene aloud in pairs, and then independently identify three instances in this scene that demonstrate the central ideas of power dynamics and identity. Students use their notes and annotations to guide small group discussions about what roles power dynamics and identity play in Blanche’s interactions with Mitch.
