Romantic love is the center of conflict and takes many forms in A Streetcar Named Desire, Wuthering, and Much Ado About Nothing. Although these three texts are of different genres, they present romance in the same way. In A Streetcar Named Desire, the audience perceives that the relationship between Stanley and Stella is primarily based on physical attraction. We recognize this when Stanley says he wants to get rid of Blanche so that he and Stella “can make noise at night” without Blanche “being behind the curtains to hear us!” the staging demonstrates that there is no privacy in their small apartment since the only barrier between Stanley and Blanch is "the curtain", this would create an effect of claustrophobia and make the audience uncomfortable. Stanley therefore sees that their marriage is suffering when Blanche is in the picture, because they can no longer get along like before. The conflict between Stanley and Stella is caused by Blanche's presence as she disrupts the power he has over Stella and flirts with Mitch. This causes his outburst of violence which results in Stella being punched while a "thumping sound" is heard, despite the fact that Stella is "going to have a baby", so he is not afraid to put jeopardize the well-being of Stella and her unborn child. child at risk just to impress Blanch. This shows how desperate he is to impress Blanch and demonstrate his masculinity through his violent outburst to show that he has power in their relationship. Comparably in Much Ado About Nothing, Claudio and Hero's romance is also based on appearance, when Claudio first meets Hero in the play he tells Benedick "In my eyes she is the most beautiful woman sweetest I've ever looked." I met her before the game began... middle of paper ... Atherine's materialistic side emerges as she aspires to be a "lady" and Heathcliff's villainy develops as he constantly dwells on how he is going to “pay” Hindley back”, it is also through this relationship that Bronte is able to question the representation and attitudes surrounding women and class. Arguably, in A Streetcar Named Desire Williams shows the worsening relationship imbalance between husband and wife through Stanley and Stella's relationship and the change in dynamics created by Blanch that causes Stanley to say things to Stella like "Since when Are you giving me orders?” We see that this stems from William's personal experiences. Shakespeare, however, shows this conflicted relationship with a bit more lightness as his play ends with multiple marriages with almost everyone happy, which contrasts with other texts as the audience may find this unrealistic..
