Comparison and contrast of the ways of characterization used by the two playwrights in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" and Tennessee Williams' "Streetcar Named Desire"

Both Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" and Tennessee Williams' "Streetcar Named Desire" extract has two characters in each scene. One of them is usually one of the main characters of the stories: Mr. Proctor in the Crucible extract and Blanche DuBois from the scene of Streetcar Named Desire. Both of them had a serious conversation with their partner. There are lot of stage directions in both therefore far more indirect characterization can be found than real …

…on her both directly and indirectly depicted through the extract: indirect "hoarsely" or directly the short response answers to Blanche's questions. In conclusion, both main character has depicted indirectly more often due to the long and detailed stage directions, both characters Proctor and Blanche are clearly aware with their "past crime", but they try no to think about them and act like nothing happened. This cause great friction as well as arguments with the partner.
