Blanche DuBois
A fading Southern belle, fragile and neurotic, who arrives in New Orleans to stay with her sister Stella after losing their family estate, Belle Reve. She’s a complex mix of refinement, delusion, and desperation, haunted by her past and clinging to illusions of gentility.

Stanley Kowalski
Stella’s husband, a rough, working-class man with a brash, animalistic energy. He’s fiercely masculine, practical, and suspicious of Blanche’s airs, leading to a volatile clash with her that drives much of the play’s tension.

Eunice Hubbell
The upstairs neighbor and landlady’s friend, married to Steve. She’s a minor character but adds to the gritty, communal atmosphere of the setting.

Pablo Gonzales
Another of Stanley’s poker buddies, a smaller role that fleshes out the group’s dynamic.

The Negro Woman
A minor character (sometimes called "Colored Woman" in early texts), representing the diverse, vibrant life of the French Quarter.

The Doctor
Appears at the end to escort Blanche to the asylum, embodying cold authority softened by a hint of kindness.

The Nurse (Matron)

A teenage boy collecting newspaper payments, briefly flirted with by Blanche, highlighting her fragile grasp on propriety.

Mexican Woman
A street vendor selling flowers for the dead, adding a haunting, symbolic touch to Blanche’s unraveling.
