How does Blanche's world of illusion contrast from Stanley's world of reality in "A Streetcar named Desire?"

Blanche's world of illusions include gentlemen callers,
rich and powerful men, genteel and Old South mannerisms, the beautiful Belle Reeve, and
everything that encompassed her old self.


Stanley, on the
other hand, was a brusque, harsh, and dirty man with rough manners, who would hit his
wife, play poker with his cronies in drunken nights, and be the epitome of the horrible
man that Blanche would have never dared to go near.


Their
worlds clash because they are at extremes, and one (Stanley) is meant to overrule the
other (Blanche) like reality smashes down fantasy.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
