Stanley's character in A Streetcar Named Desire Animals are, by nature, passionately instinctive; that is, when they react to a situation, they do so forcefully and spontaneously. We can therefore consider the passionate instinct as an intense and innate reaction to a particular situation. Animals also lack what we call “inhibition” – the suppression of a natural drive, instinct, or feeling. For example, when a skunk senses danger, it does not slow down its natural defense reaction and does not hesitate to spray a foul-smelling substance in the direction of the danger to protect itself. When cattle sense a threat to their environment, they don't try to rationalize their way to safety: they rush. If a bull's passions are aroused, he will charge or mate with the nearest cow. The passionate instinct also drives us. Although we often try to reason in situations as civilized, rational beings should, sometimes there comes a time when we can no longer be controlled by reason. This point often arises when we are experiencing strong emotion and our rational halves are overshadowed by our darker, instinctual sides. We often hide this darker half because the instinct, which is an integral part of it, can lead to violence when unleashed. It seems that the very idea of ​​being governed by instinct has become repugnant; people who use their instincts to overcome a situation are often called "unpredictable", "maverick" and "dangerous". Although we consider ourselves civilized, we were once a race ruled by instinct - and we still are, to some extent. A man's instinct can also reach the point where it almost drowns out his "civilized" side, as in Stanley's case. Kowalski. In A St...... middle of paper...... this cannot be avoided. However, if humanity can remove all inhibitions and allow its actions to be governed by instinct alone, then humanity's tenuous hold on civility will be loosened and the results could be catastrophic. and the Lantern.
