ASTROLOGICAL IMAGERY AND THE "ETERNAL TRIANGLE" IN THREE PLAYS BY TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
- Date Issued:
- 1973
- Summary:
- This thesis examines the major dramatic characters, in three plays by Tennessee Williams, as representative of the astrological signs of the "earth'' triplicity. With a basic understanding of astrological properties, the characters in A Streetcar Named Desire, The Rose Tattoo, and The Kingdom of Earth can be categorized in triangular relationships symbolized by the astral triplicity. Astrology is explicit in Streetcar and, by inference and association, implicit in the other plays. The astrological grouping explicates the characters' motivations and illuminates the plays' resolutions.
