What was Blanche dubois' problem and what was Marlon Brando's (forgot character's name) problem?
Were they both crazy?
I agree with DAR76. But also Blanche did not live in reality. She lived in her own world created from her best memories/ideals and blocked out everything else. She was definitely crazy.
I don't think Stanley was CRAZY per se, just insensitive

Rob Ruggiero last worked at UNC School of the Arts 14 years ago. The long wait between assignments appears to have been worth it.
The guest artist this fall at UNCSA's School of Drama is directing the Studio IV college seniors in a classic he has long wanted to do: Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire."
"Although it's set in the mid-1940s, it doesn't feel dated," he said. "It doesn't feel old. It feels exciting and moving at times and heartbreaking."
"Streetcar," a 1947 play, was adapted into a famous 1951 movie of the same name starring Marlon Brando, Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden.
Set in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the story revolves around Stella Kowalski (Kacie Brown), who is torn between her husband, Stanley (Christian Daly), and her sister, Blanche (Maddie Jo Landers).
"Stanley, who's caught up in his day-to-day existence and his physical needs, is fed up with Blanche's illusions," the media materials say. "Blanche cannot control her fantasies and becomes mentally unstable, while Stanley cannot control his primal instincts and becomes abusive. The family spirals out of control, with a pregnant Stella trying to hold it all together."
