The stage directions in Scene 1 of A Streetcar Named Desire are very specific and detailed. They are more than just stage directions, and are focused on exactly how the characters are supposed to look and be portrayed. They discussed the outfits, the mannerisms, and the actual ways in which the characters are supposed to act, far beyond what they just physically do and what they say to one another. The motifs are clear and direct. They provide design for the set and the outfits the characters are wearing, along with the decoration the set has and what it portrays in the larger scheme of things.
