Abstract

The Developmental Stages and Moral Dilemmas proposed by Lawrence Kohlberg are used as an instrument of dramaturgical analysis to identify the social, political, and historical contexts of female figuration in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. From these stages, an investigation is carried out to reveal the fictional substrata worked by the author relationned to woman in his work, bringing to the fore as it is read and understood in the society of his time. Finally, it is evident that the history of women is predominantly tied to patriarchal values. The moral dilemmas proposed by Kohlberg, therefore, prove to be proficient instruments to dramaturgical analysis and deepening of questions that go beyond the hegemonic reading of the work of the author.
