A guide to key terminology relevant for 'Streetcar Named Desire' (with examples)

These 25 literary terms (from hamartia to intertextuality via stagecraft) will give your students the toolkit to analyse Streetcar and other dramatic texts. This document could be used in a number of different ways: I printed out and laminated these and students had a simple task to match term to definition, or definition to example, or, put each of the terms in one of three piles: I know this; I've heard of this but not sure about it; I don't know this. It could form a display, or it could be used as part of planning an essay: these are all terms you might use but what could you say about their use?
