Stanley Supply

If anyone has read the play A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, or even seen the movie, who do you think is the antagonist or protagonist, Stanley or Blanche?

I know these thoughts are subjective, so please provide them with examples if possible.

Thank you very much!

White - Pro
Stanley - ant

This is not really subjective, as Blanche is the main character, whose perspective the story is told (although the third person), and Stanley is his "rival".

I see two Blanche and Stanley as antagonists, but many see White as a protagonist. I have not been able to root for either, and found the sister of Blanche to be closest to a protagonist.
