All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be

Tennessee Williams, the renowned American playwright, was known for his complex and often tragic portrayals of human relationships. In many of his works, including "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "The Glass Menagerie," Williams delved into the complexities of desire, beauty, and the expectations placed on women in society. One of the recurring themes in his plays is the idea that all pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and that men expect them to be.

In Williams' works, the character of the pretty girl is often portrayed as a seductive and alluring figure who lures men in with her beauty, only to trap them in a web of desire and manipulation. This idea is perhaps most famously explored in "A Streetcar Named Desire," where the character of Blanche DuBois is presented as a beautiful and fragile woman who uses her looks to manipulate those around her. Blanche's beauty is both her greatest asset and her greatest downfall, as it ultimately leads to her downfall and descent into madness.
