Stanley's character in A Streetcar Named DesireAnimals are, by nature, passionately instinctive; that is, when they react to a situation, they do so forcefully and spontaneously. Therefore, we can think of 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 will not restrain its natural defensive reaction and will not hesitate to spray a foul-smelling substance in the direction of the danger in self-defense. When cattle perceive a threat to their environment, they don't try to rationalize their way to safety: they flee hastily. If a bull's passions are aroused, he will charge or mate with the nearest cow. Passionate instinct also guides us. Although we often try to reason through situations as civilized, rational beings should, sometimes there comes a point where we can no longer be controlled by reason. This point often comes when we feel strong emotions and our rational halves become overshadowed by our darker, more instinctive sides. We often hide this darker half because the instinct, which is part of it, can lead to violence when released. It seems that the very idea of ​​being governed by instinct has become unpleasant; people who use their instincts to overcome a situation are often labeled "unpredictable", "mavericks" and "dangerous". Even though we consider ourselves civilized, we were once a race governed by instinct - and still are, to some extent. A man's instincts can even reach the point where it almost drowns out his "civilized" side, as in the case of Stanley Kowalski. In A St... in the middle of the paper... which cannot be prevented. However, if humanity could repress all inhibitions and allow its actions to be governed only by instinct, then humanity's tenuous hold on civilization would loosen and the results could be catastrophic.
