A Streetcar Named Desire Tennesee Williams' Use Of Stage Effects And How They Change A Streetcar Named Desire Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is mastery of the use of lighting, setting, and sound to add to emotion and meaning to a play. Throughout the play, he uses different appearances to convey characters and enhance the importance of actions and dialogue. Williams constantly changes what the audience hears and sees to control their response to the action taking place in the play. By using different sounds, lighting, and settings, Williams is able to add to the emotional impact of the play. Music and sound effects often make up as much of the emotion in the play as the characters' actions and words. Towards the end of the play, the "Varsouviana" begins to play more often. As the reader knows, that was the song playing at the time that Blanche's husband shot himself. By it playing in her mind more often, it shows that the state of agony in which she is living is increasing. Other sounds begin to increase in frequency as well as volume.
