His life on Belle Reve does not fulfill the dreams that once surrounded the wealthy plantation. Instead, Blanche finds herself taking on the responsibility for the “epic fornications” of her family's past lives, along with the financial debt that comes with owning the house. This isn't the only thing Blanche has to take care of.

This someone was the doctor who helped take her away from the Kowalski residence at the end of the show. In his modern drama, A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams describes that all individuals are given the opportunity to change their destiny, regardless of their circumstances. Significant events in our lives can alter our decisions, but what matters most is taking control of the opportunity that presents itself and making the most of it.
