Tennessee Williams's Life.

As teenagers, when Williams’ older sister Rose first became infatuated with a certain boy, Williams soon realized that he was also attracted to the same boy and his own sex.- Therefore in many of Williams' plays especially Street Car there are strong uses of bondage between siblings such as Stella and Blanche. 

Williams’ advice to young playwrights: “Don’t bore the audience! I mean, even if you have to resort to totally arbitrary killing on stage, or pointless gunfire, at least it’ll catch their attention and keep them awake. Just keep the thing going any way you can.”- This keen interest and passion in exiting performances that constantly have a build of tension and various climax's with various view points and social problems to excite the audience and sustain their attention.

Williams changed his birth date from 1911 to 1914 to enter play-writing contests that he would have been too old to enter otherwise. And the fact that at the age of 12, Williams began to write.-These both show his outstanding interest to write amazing texts and why they are all so inspiring.
 
Williams was repulsed by bullfights.- This may be the reason for Williams use of a Bull as Stanley because he believe him fighting and beating Stella was repulsive.

Williams’ mother Edwina had a permanent blemish on her nose after her husband Cornelius slammed a door in her face.-This may suggest why he chose to use the violence and dominance between Stanley and Stella because of his mothers past with hiding what her husband had done much like Stella does. Also the covering of her imperfections much like Blanche because she is scared of how she will be perceived by others.

Williams once had a friend named Stanley Kowalski the same name as a central figure in Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire.- This shows even further about how his personal life had influenced his making of his famous novel, Streetcar.

Williams' sister suffered from mental problems and was taken away to a mental asylum- This shows that Williams had used his sisters condition in his writing and possible influenced the personality of Blanch Dubois being mentally unstable.

Both Williams and his father were alcoholics.- Again this has clearly influenced Williams Streetcar where Stanley is very precious about his liquor especially Whiskey and Stanley expressing his love for Whiskey and how it "touches people often" maybe speaking from personal opinion.
