Streetcar V. 12 Monkeys(insanity)

In an insane world, a sane person would be insane. I’m not sure if it makes sense to everybody else, but it makes perfect sense to me. In the next few paragraphs I will attempt to link two different stories and their protagonists to show the counterparts between any society and its views; made up by the majority of its constituents. A Streetcar Named Desire and its “insane� character show the side of society that doesn’t understand the outsider. The crucial aspect of this is to forget the traditional definition of sanity. The other plot is a science fiction story called Twelve Monkeys. In this story, James Cole (played by Bruce Willis) is an underground prisoner in the year 2035. He is sent back to the year 1996 to trace a virus that would eventually wipe out 99% of civilization. Cole, being outside his na

atural environment of 2035 and placed in the year 1996, although completely sane, appears quite insane. Much like James Cole, Blanche Dubois is removed from her natural environment of the wealthy Belle Reve mansion and is misunderstood by the rest of society.

Both of the characters display many astute mental characteristics. It is only because of different environments that each person seems out of place. Cole’s time travel makes him an easy target for police and doctors. Blanche also finds herself out of sync with the rest of New Orleans and also ends up in an asylum.

“There’s no right, there’s no wrong. There’s only popular opinion.” This quote comes from a fellow mental patient of James Cole from 12 Monkeys. James Cole is sent back to the year 1996 from his present time period of 2035. Almost instantly
