[Mitch has started toward the bedroom. Stanley crosses to block him. Stanley pushes him aside. Mitch lunges and strikes at Stanley. Stanley pushes Mitch back. Mitch collapses at the table, sobbing.]

– Tennessee Williams

A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 11. With Blanche about to be removed to the mental hospital, a guilt-ridden Mitch attempts to go to the bedroom where she is. But he is too late to rescue her. Stanley blocks his way, there is a fight between them, with Mitch proving no match for the dominant alpha male and collapsing at the table in tears.
