Comment on ‘Like A Moth To A Flame’ by Wong Soon Mun.

As what Wong Soon Mun said in her blog entitled ‘Like a Moth to a Flame’, there are many animal imagery in the text A Streetcar Named Desire. I do agree with her statement that it is perhaps because of human's behaviours sometimes do share some similar features like animals, thus many writers like to use animal imageries to portray certain behaviours of a characters.

One of the reasons that many animal imageries are used in plays is that because of it makes the story more interesting. It gets the audience to think of the similarities between the animal and the person that they are compared with.
