Description
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.
