Things do not always end up as you think

In this scene we find out that princess betrays Chance once she gets a small taste of fame again. This is a very climatic scene because throughout the story so far it seemed that princess clinged on to chance for the feeling of attention but then once she realizes people still want her she treats him as her bag boy and doesnt live up to her part of the deal with chance.

Nobody can escape time

This has been a theme in the whole story so far but  it is also present in the beginning of act 3. Tom tells chance that" : I don't ask for your pity, but just for your
understanding--not even that--no. Just for your recognition of me in you, and the enemy, time,
in us all. " this represents the theme since chance's biggest fear is getting old same as princess.

Chance- Chance becomes more self aware and matures as a character. He recognizes that you cannot gain your youth back once you have spent it, and it seems as though this message has finally 'hit' Chance. However, it seems as though he is using this as a scapegoat for his poor decisions in his life.
Princess- We see her character regress even further when we see that she has no true loyalty to Chance when she is willing to drop him so quickly for her own personal gain. She had essentially confessed her feelings for Chance moments prior to her realizing that she was still famous in Hollywood. It seems like the true reason that Princess felt for Chance was because she wished to feel wanted by him. Princess's medical condition seemed to blow away as soon as she realized she was famous again. It makes it seem as though her only issues were derived from her lack of confidence. In this scene, Princess finally reaches clarity.

The act opens up with a conflict of princess being confronted by scotty and hatcher claiming that she was holding the room she was staying in too long, Tom junior then joins in looking for chance, to which princess reply's that she has not seen him since he left in the morning. Princess and Tom talk about getting her a ride out of saint cloud. Chance re-enters when the men leave, and explains to princess that he will still be her driver. Chance makes a call to miss sally, princess takes the phone when giving chance a new phone number and stops chance from talking to her.

Symbolism - Towards the end of Act 3 there is a loud clock ticking. Chance says "I guess there's a clock in every room people live in." The ticking clock is meant to symbolize aging. No matter what is going on time is always going by, and everyone's internal clock shows the inevitability of aging.

Characterization - We learn that Alexandra is still clinging to her youth, and she is willing to go back to hollywood even though she knows that her success will be short lived or even non-existent, so we finally see the development that she has not given up on hollywood like she would have had you believe.

Based on all of the foreshadowing, do you think that Chance will actually end up getting hurt?

Boss Finley  - We learn that Boss Finley is an even worse person than was previously thought. He smashes Miss Lucy's finger in a jewelry box just because she makes fun of him, and he was responsible for the castration of a black man.

Tom Junior - We learn the extent of their racist ideals and we learn that he is not super eager to hurt Chance and doesn't want his people to gang up on him, unlike his father.

Chance -  Chance's love for Heavenly is so extensive, that he says he would rather die than leave and not be with her for the rest of his life. We also learn that he is quite delusional, and remembers things from the past more fondly than they actually were.

Princess - We learn that Princess is becoming more and more detached, and is more dependant on drugs and Chance, and she really doe not want him to leave him.

Miss Lucy - We finally meet Miss Lucy, and we learn that she is not so fond of Boss Finley any more, and she is willing to help a heckler to sabotage his rally.

Consequences of your actions- Chance has to face the consequences of his "job" when it interferes with his relationship with Heavenly. Chance had to deal with Princess entering when Heavenly was nearby, and he also has to to deal with repercussions  of the way he has acted up to this point.
Clinging to Youth-
Chance seemingly has clinged to his youth. This is evident in his discussion with Aunt Nonnie because we see how immature he truly is. He expresses his love for Heavenly in a childlike way, clinging to her and even producing false stories about their relationship that make him seem immature.
One person's reality might not be the true reality-
This is prevalent when Chance describes his relationship with Heavenly. He tells an entirely different story than what Aunt Nonnie described when he tells her about the play that he and Heavenly did together.

"He told me to unscrew it. So I unscrewed it. Inside
was a little blue velvet jewel box, no not little, a big one, as big as somebody's mouth, too"  "The mouth of somebody who's not a hundred miles from here." is related to the theme of love cannot be bought, as well as the theme that love doesn't always lead to happiness
"People that loved you expected just one thing of you--sweetness and honesty
and . . . "
"CHANCE: Nothing goes that quick, not even youth.
AUNT NONNIE: Yes, it does. "
This quote emphasises the theme that human beauty/youth is fleeting because though Chance says it doesn't go quickly, he is still young and ignorant while Aunt Nonnie is old enough to have experienced the brevity of youth.

At the hotel’s cocktail lounge, Miss Lucy tells the bartender that Boss Finley smashed her fingers with a jewelry box for her comments about his sexual performance.

In 1959, the United States was on the verge of major transitions. The ever-escalating Cold War between America and the U.S.S.R. was also a constant threat. The country was expanding. One big issue in the late 1950s was civil rights. The civil rights movement that exploded in the 1960s was based in part on events of the 1950s. Moral standards were changing in the United States. Women’s roles were also changing in this time period.  Big changes in American life were on the horizon in 1959.

"This cynical, coruscating drama has a strong look of being contrived, " - Crowther, Bosley.

"Williams is a much more political writer than usually allowed, but there is something strained about his suggestion that Heavenly’s sterility affects her father’s racist politics and there is much in the action that defies belief."- Michael Billington, June 11, 2017, "The guardian"

"Jonathan Kent summons arresting moments from Tennessee Williams’s drama but can’t fully rescue a play that fails to meld personal and political"

Hallie: The play thus far seems as though it is more relaxed and informal. It seems like true human life is being portrayed in this play rather than cookie-cutter hollywood production.

Hallie: Chance and Princess both seem like very similar characters. They both seem washed up and lacking true purpose in life. It seems like both of them have pieces missing within their lives.

Dramatic Irony - The audience has the ability to see the ages of the actors that are playing the characters. So when the characters that are actually young act like they are older than they really are, the audience can see this.

Staging - The whole scene takes place in a small hotel room, and is basically just one conversation.

The problems from aging - When Alexandra Del Lago became older she was no longer as accepted or wanted in Hollywood because they want to hire younger, and more attractive actors.

Sex- Chance's job is working as a gigolo, selling sex and/or companionship to rich, lonely, often older ladies. He met Princess Kosmonopolis while employed at a Palm Beach resort.

"I just wasn't young, not young, young. I just wasn't young anymore...."  - This quote shows the theme of the problems of aging very well. Alexandra Del Lago is upset that she is no longer considered young by hollywood standards, and she just wishes she can look young again.

"Princess! Do you know something? All this conversation has been recorded on tape? "
This line is when chance reveals he has blackmailed princess and tells her his plans of using her to get to the limelight. -Jamin

"CHANCE: Are you sure
you don't want a doctor?
PRINCESS: No, for God's sake . . . no!
CHANCE: Why are you so scared of doctors? "
This quote foreshadows that Princess's medical condition might not actually be true. If she truly did have a severe medical condition, she would likely be very used to having doctors around. This shows that Princess may be afraid of doctors because she doesn't want them to disprove her illness.

"It goes tick-tick, it's quieter than your heart-beat, but it's slow dynamite, a gradual

"Not long after that he drove his Alfa-Romeo or Ferrari off the Grand Corniche--
accidentally?--Broke his skull like an eggshell. I wonder what they found in it? Old, despaired of

off, and whatever traces are left of really great charm and sweetness. Chance, Franz Albertzart
is Chance Wayne. Will you please try to face it so we can go on together?
The princess is comparing Chance with  Franz Albertzart in this quote. She sees him as this guy who has a crazy life and would drive off a cliff. The princess wants to spend the rest of their lives together so Chance doesn't become like Franz Albertzart. - Ricardo

"We are two monsters, but with this difference
between us. Out of the passion and torment of my existence I have created a thing that I can
unveil, a sculpture, almost heroic, that I can unveil, which is true. But you? "- Ricardo
This quote shows the theme of success and failure. The princess is saying she is being succeeding while Chance is a failure that ruins everyone he meets. At the end they both realize how time has affected them. - Ricardo

" Chance's attitude should be self-recognition
but not self-pity"
This quote shows that Chance has matured as a character. He has moved past the self-centeredness that he began the play with, and he became more self aware and rather than using self-pity to gain more attention, he seems to take a more mature stance. -Hallie

Born on March 26, 1911, in Columbus, Mississippi. Williams described his childhood in Mississippi as pleasant and happy. life changed for him when his family moved to St. Louis, Missouri. The carefree nature of his boyhood was stripped in his new urban home, and as a result Williams turned inward and started to write. In 1929, Williams enrolled at the University of Missouri to study journalism. He dropped out afterwards. After recuperating in Memphis, Williams returned to St. Louis and where he connected with several poets studying at Washington University. In 1937 returned to college, enrolling at the University of Iowa. He graduated the following year. When he was 28, Williams moved to New Orleans, where he changed his name. New Orleans, a city that would inspire much of his writing. On March 31, 1945, his play, The Glass Menagerie, opened on Broadway and two years later A Streetcar Named Desire earned Williams his first Pulitzer Prize. Many of Williams' plays have been adapted to film starring screen greats like Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor. Williams died in 1983.

Why do you guys think Princess and Chance Wayne  care so much about what other people think?

Princess and Chance are both in the entertainment business, and so they are more inclined to care about their outward appearance. This is because their entire career is based off of peoples' opinions of them in order to obtain jobs/keep ratings up. Each character, however, is motivated in a different way. Princess has already "made it" in the entertainment business and so therefore she is focused on maintaining her image in the public's eyes. Chance, however, is still up-and-coming, so he is moreso focused on creating an image for himself rather than maintaining one per say.

Infer what will happen when Heavenly meets Princess

Ricardo: I think the Princess and Chance are growing on each other. If the princess and Heavenly meet they will fight to the death for Chance. Chance will not know what to do.

The problems from aging. Chance and Alexandra Del Lago frequently comment on how they wish they were still young and beautiful.

Self-consciousness. Both Chance and Alexandra are constantly concerned about what people think of them, and how they seem to the public.

Scene 2 focuses on developing the background of chance and is when we truly see the person he is while explaining it to princess. Chance also tells princess and the audience more about his love for Heavenly and we begin to see more character development for her part. We also see that princess puts her trust in chance by giving him her checks and waiting to see if he returns downstairs. Scene 2 is more of the exposition of the play so far.

# data[].attributes.body
Characterisation- As the Princess puts on makeup, Chance tells her his life story. He was popular here. Instead of going to college, he went to New York and was in the choruses of Broadway shows. Chance also made love to many rich women in New York, giving affection to the lonely. During the Korean War, Chance joined the Navy because the uniform looked good on him. He felt he was wasting his youth, and had a nervous breakdown. After his honorable discharge, he returned home and again become involved with Heavenly. Though they were in love, Heavenly’s father, Boss Finley, would not let them marry.

# data[].attributes.body
Chance- Chance is a pretty boy who still has yet to achieve his big break, and is willing to go to great lengths to achieve his goals. (e.g. blackmailing other characters) His personality is parallel to Princess in that they both have similar dreams and aspirations. However, since Chance hasn't been "discovered" yet, he seems to contrast with Princess in that he is more humble than her, and serves somewhat as a caretaker to her.

Princess- Princess is a Haughty, seemingly entitled girl whose name fits her perfectly. Her relationship with Chance is interesting because they both run parallel while contrasting at the same time. Princess is definitely more entitled than Chance, however, because she has already "made it."

# data[].attributes.body
CHARACTERIZATION- We learn that Boss Finley hates Chance because he gave Heavenly (boss Finley's daughter) an STD, and kept nude photos of her. However, we also learn of his political background and see that he is willing to damage personal relationships in order to get ahead in his political agenda.

STAGING- Everyone is to wear white in order to create a family dynamic, which is also
DRAMATIC IRONY, because it shows the family as tarnished and rebellious, but they're wearing white, which typically represents purity.

# data[].attributes.body
"Say it! Say it! What you had was beauty!"
This quote goes along with the theme of aging/clinging to youth. Both Chance and Alexandra Del Lago seem to have peaked in their early youth, and that is all that they seem to think about.

"I want to be seen in your car on the streets of St. Cloud." This quote lines up with the theme of self-consciousness. Both of them are extremely caught up about how people think of them, even if its not true.

What do you guys think is the most prominent theme in this act? - Hallie

I think the most prominent theme in this Scene is that money isn't happiness. This theme is very present int this scene. Boss Finley is under the impression that money and material items are what make people truly happy, but Heavenly is not interested in his money, she just wants true love. - Andy

I think the more important theme is the theme of not being overprotective. The main conflict in this scene is a result of Boss Finley's overprotectiveness. She blames him for robbing her of her true love, while he was allowed to pursue his own love interests. - Ricardo

# data[].attributes.body
Don't be to overprotective. Heavenly believes her father(Boss Finley) being too involved in her love life, and telling her who to be with has lead to her unhappiness today.

Looks vs. Reality - Boss Finley is very concerned about how his daughter will look at his campaign rally, and he really wants his daughter to appear like a saint, even though they all know she is not.

Money isn't happiness - Boss finley thinks that all people want is money, and he tries to give Heavenly money, but she doesn't care.

At Boss Finley’s house, Heavenly’s father is angry that Chance has returned. He calls in his son, Tom Junior. Finley wants his son to throw Chance out of town because the last time he was here he gave Heavenly a sexually transmitted disease that required her to have a hysterectomy.
Finley tries to suggest how she should behave, Heavenly becomes angry. She reminds him that he drove Chance away and tried to marry her off to a succession of old men. She blames him for Chance’s corruption. They both become angry at each other and Finely threatens her at the end to harm Chance.

# data[].attributes.body
Heavenly- We learn about her background with Chance and that she had contracted an STD from him, and he also set her nude photos loose.
Boss Finley- we learn that he is motivated by his political agenda and that he hates Chance
Tom Finley- introduced in this scene. We also learn that he is a gang member in a white supremacy group.
Scutter- Scutter is Heavenly's fiancee, so it is understandable why he would dislike Chance so strongly. Furthermore, he is the doctor who had performed the operation on Heavenly that rendered her infertile. These factors provide further character motivation for Scutter.

"Honey, you say and do things in the presence of people as if you had no regard of the
fact that people have ears to hear you and tongues to repeat what they hear. And so you become
a issue. " - This quote symbolizes the theme of looks versus reality because Boss Finley is disapproving of the way Heavenly behaves because the way it looks to others. It seems that he cares less about the reality of the situation (that Heavenly is acting out) and more about the image is puts out for the public to criticize. He wants himself and his family to have a good image on display for the public.

This state is a Protestant region and a
daughter in a convent would politically ruin me.

"Papa, there was a time when you could have saved me, by letting me marry a boy that was still young and clean, but instead you drive him away."- this quote symbolizes the theme of parents overprotecting or controlling their child's life. This lead to Heavenly's unhappiness with her father and even her life.

Still, it is not labeled who posted each quote, so I am not sure who to give credit to. Every person is supposed to post one quote and analyze it's significance.
