Has he? Does harsh reality destroy illusion?

I believe there are no winners in this play. There are just human beings who have to face the sad realities of their lives. Blanche has been exposed as an alcoholic who has some kind of mental illness. Stanley has been exposed as a rapist and a loser. And poor Stella has to face the fact of what her husband and her sister are. I don't think Williams was trying to teach us anything; he was just showing us what reality is like for some people.
