Character Analysis: Analysis Of A Streetcar Named Desire '

In writing this scene, I know it would not have changed the plot of the play. Most of the play have brief moments of Stella and Blanche talking, however they do not actually have a time to talk without someone listening in or interrupting. I wanted include a scene of this taking place before anything drastic happens in play. Stella and Blanche briefly talk about Blanche’s trip here along with her taking time off, thoughts about Stanley, and what she thinks is best for Stella. This scene was meant to have a small burst of sisterly bonding in a way that puts emotions of happiness, jealousy, caring, and disappointment all in one setting. In the play, Scene Six was only mentioned as a setting that Mitch and Blanche had just come from as their

Blanche meets Eunice at the start of page 5 of Scene One. Blanche has her first encounter with Stanley in Scene One at the start of page 23. This scene is earlier because it questions Stella and Blanche sisterly bond. The play continues with the style of Blanche having the most lines and Stella only having minimal input. This is to keep true with the style of the play, but there are subtle lines for Stella that allow her to be sarcastic. It still displays Blanches dominance that she portrays around Stella. I do hint of Stella’s pregnancy in the play, but plays it off as something she ate the day prior as too keep true to that Blanche doesn’t notice that Stella is pregnant till Stanley tells Blanche in Scene Two page

So Mr. Graves—Mr. Graves is the high school superintendent—he suggested I take a leave of absence.” I used this to talk about the children briefly and allow Stella to ask certain questions to Blanche in my scene I created that will further play in more detail in Scene Six and Seven when Stanley tells everyone what Blanche is really doing here. I used this to add on to the lies she will alter tell in later scenes. Blanche meets Stanley and exchange small talk which was about here coming unexpectedly and her marriage that was short. I used that part of the play from Scene One add on to my ending of my scene to be Stanley as a topic of discuss after her first initial impression. This is one time where Blanche talks out of concern and wellbeing of her sister. It may come off as her trying to be controlling, but it is an early outcry of how she saw him as not being professional in manner in greeting a guest. As you can see in Scene One page 4 it describes that Stanley did not hand or pass her the meat in the package, but that he throws it to Stella
