Lecture: Fantasy vs. Reality

Professor Brady's lecture about the difference between reality and fantasy was one of the lectures that really stood out to me this semester. She explained that there are many people who live in a fantasy world because they do not want to face the realities of life. Blanche from “A Streetcar Named Desire” is the perfect example of living in a fantasy world because she had so many hardships in her life that she lived in a fantasy world to try and forget about them. I was really able to relate to this lecture because I know personally that when something goes wrong in my life, I do everything I possibly can to try and forget about it and avoid it. This lecture also really will force me to truly think about other people and what they are going through, and will hopefully allowed me to be more sympathetic towards those people.
