Help for streetcar

What would I put in a streetcar named desire essay on masculinity- what would your points be for each paragraph?
So there’s many ways you could go with masculinity as it’s a very broad concept.
- You could say about the toxic masculinity Stanley m has and that violence/dominance is needed to keep masculinity going.
- You could also say about the connotations of masculinity being broken eg.. “all at once he subsides and is limp in their grasp. They speak quietly and lovingly to him and he leans his face on one of their shoulders” - this is breaking the role of masculinity, and showing an almost feminine side to it.
- Hegemonic masculinity. Mitch states that “Poker should not be played in a house with women” - usually the “Poker night” involves alcoholic beverages, a repeating motif used to symbolise masculinity
-> elaborating you could say about Blanche drinking Stanley’s alcohol
Thank you so much!
