A Streetcar Named Desire: Interpretation of Subjectivity's Desire through Insan ity LI Ying, DENG Fang (School of Foreign Languages, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautic s, Beijing 100191, China) Abstract: The motif of insanity is held as one of Williams' lifelong themes in h is literary canon. Based on Lacanian interpretation of the interrelationship bet ween Subjectivity and Desire, I mean to make a textual study of Blanche and her typical insanity in A Streetcar Named Desire. Victimized by repressed desire in the civilization, Blanche has been deprived of Subjectivity because of her loss of the Object of desire. Keyword: insanity; desire; subjectivity
