Detailed explanation-1: -Stage directions describe Stanley as a virulent character whose chief pleasure is women. His dismissal of Blanche’s beauty is therefore significant, because it shows that she does not exude his same brand of carnal desire.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stanley Kowalski is a representation of New America-an America that was born after World War. Stanley, having fought in the Second World War, as “a Master Sergeant in the Engineers’ Corps”, is now a part of the working class in New Orleans. He represents the American Dream of freedom and opportunity for all.
Detailed explanation-3: -This happens right after Stella yells at Stanley in front of his friends and calls him a drunk. Stanley hitting Stella may be him trying to assert his control over her and reinforcing his role as the dominant male in the relationship.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stanley is the “puppet master", manipulating Mitch into believing that Blanche had a promiscuous past, and telling Stella that Blanche’s story about him raping her is untrue, eventually leading to Blanche’s “crazy” departure. Manipulation is one of the main themes of A Streetcar Named Desire.
