To Desire is to long or crave something. Usually something that is enjoyed or pleasurable. This story, "A Streetcar Named Desire," directed by Elia Kazan is a wonderful movie. It signifies how in real life people like to tell stories as Blanche does.

She was born into a wealthy family in Mississippi. After losing most of her wealth she gets on a streetcar that is headed to New Orleans to meet her sister.
