"A Streetcar Named Marge" is the second episode of The Simpsons' fourth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 1, 1992. In the episode, Marge wins the role of Blanche DuBois in a musical version of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Homer is apathetic to his wife's acting pursuits, and Marge beings to see parallels between him and Stanley Kowalski, the play's boorish lead male character. The episode contains a subplot in which Maggie Simpson attempts to retrieve her pacifier from a strict daycare attendant.
I am writing this blog to try and stave off the boredom and impending doom I am feeling at having to write an essay that is due tomorrow, that I am only 12.5% of the way through. Needless to say, it's about A Streetcar Named Desire, and Death of a Salesman, and I am really struggling! I have a good plan, it's just getting it all down on paper! And both plays are so depressing, I am tired of reading about rape, suicide and mental illness.
Also, because I am spectacularly unorganised, I have three more essays due next week that I haven't done yet. Grr. I hate myself for leaving everything until the last minute.
