her. BLANCHE push STELLA aside and running back into the kitchen passing through
the men. The men look shock at Blanche reaction while STELLA started to crying in
EUNICE arm]
[She rushes past him into the bedroom. Kurid reflections appear on the walls in odd,
sinuous shapes. The ‘Varsoviana is filtered into weird distortion, accompanied by the
cries and noise of the jungle. Blanche seize the back of a chair as if to defend herself.]
[The MATRON advance on one side, STANLEY on the other. Prepared for any possible
outcome. The MATRON is very big old lady )which have the sinister figure in her severe
dress. Her voice is deep like an ocean floor and toneless as a fire-ball.]
[The greeting is echoed and re-echoed by other mysterious voices behind the walls, as if
reverberated through a canyon of rock.]
[The MATRON used all of her forced and press BLANCHE toward the ground. The
doctor start to walk into the room carrying a straight jacket ready to make BLANCHE
wear it.]
STANLEY: You are causing a scene Blanche. You left nothing here but split talcum and old
empty perfume bottles - unless it’s the paper lantern you want to take with you. You want
the lantern?
[He crosses to dressing-table and seizes the paper lantern, tearing it off the light-bulb,
and extends it towards her. She cries out as if the lantern was herself. The MATRON
start to lose grasp of her due to her strength of losing the lantern paper. BLANCHE push
the MATRON aside and try to escape the room. STELLA runs out to the porch, crying,
with EUNICE following to comfort her, simultaneously with confused voices of men in the
kitchen. STELLA rushes into EUNICE’S embrace on the porch.]
STELLA: oh, my God, Eunice, help me! Don’t let them do that to her, They are hurting her! Oh
god, oh please God! Make its stop, save her! Why did this need to happen to us? What
are they doing? What are they doing to Blanche? Answer me! [She tries to break from
EUNICE’S arms.]
EUNICE: No, honey, no, no, honey. Stay here. Don’t go back in there. Stay with me and don’t
look back.
STELLA: What have I done to my sister? Oh God, What have I done to her? How do I let this
monster hurt her? [STELLA is crying like a waterfall and screaming in agony]

the ‘blue piano’ and the muted trumpet]

In this rewritten assignment, I have chosen scene 11 from the book named A Streetcar
Named Desire to be rewritten. Scene 11 is the last scene of this book where the scene is about
Blanche Dubois is taken into a mental asylum because of Stanley and Stella decision. The
decision was forced upon Stella since she need to choose whether to stay with her sister or her
husband who she have a child with. It is very emotional scene which Tennessee Williams has
illustrate very well. However, The Matron and Doctor in the scene were not realistic enough. The
Doctor were so kind and gentle while the Matron didn’t violent as to be expected. I decided to
make the doctor and Matron to become more realistic by changing there dialogue and action to
become more violent just like what mental asylum has done to the patient during the 20 century.
The doctor in my rewritten isn’t patient like in the story and the Matron also act very
aggressive to Blanche. Although, The story have the same ending. Blanche being abused by the
doctor and Matron is a very troubling for Stella and Mitch to watch. Both of them have a deep
connection with Blanche and seeing her abuse make them hate stanley and cried more than story.
I try to illustrate this by focusing and giving more detail in Blanche and Martron fight. Also, I
decided to make it more heart breaking by letting the doctor make Blanche wear the straight
jacket. To see Blanche wear a straight jacket and being forced out of the house is a very
emotional scene that impact everyone in the play. Stanley in my rewrite still act calmly like the
original but because I change the doctor and Matron action, Everyone else have change there
response. The men has decided to quit the poker in the last line of rewrite because they are shock
of what happened to Blanche. Mitch also very depressed by Blanche departure and Stella cannot
take Stanley anymore and left him. Stanley scream toward Stella just like the poker night in
scene 3 just this time there is no response from Stella showing the contrast of scene 11 and 3.

I have tried to illustrate the human nature of losing someone you love. Seeing the one you
care get hurt can change your personality and response. I make Blanche getting abuse by Doctor
and Matron to make the reaction of everybody in the play be more powerful. The more Blanche
have been hurt the more who care her is hurt too.
