When telling Stella that sheer desire is no basis fora marriage, Blanche points out that there is a streetcar in NewOrleans named 'Desire' that 'bangs through the [French] Quarter,up one old narrow street and down another.' She invokes the streetcaras a metaphor for what she believes Stella feels. Stella asks whetherBlanche has ever ridden on the streetcar, and Blanche's answer,'It brought me here,' foreshadows later events in the play.
