Moths are attracted to danger
Light in the play is often symbolic of the truth in the play
Blanche can be damaged by the truth
Moths are vulnerable, delicate
Stella and Blanche's meeting
Blanche is dependant on Stella
Long turns
Monologues - to herself
Collapsing
Concerned with looks
They love each other but Blanch drives Stella insane
Blanche acts confident but needs validation
e.g. on page 9
The sisters talk about Stanley (pg 10)
Stella is obsessed with Stanley
Is reliant on Stanley and enjoys it
Stanley and Blanche
Blanche doesn't say much
Stanley has control of the conversation
Blanche is weary and intimidated
Blanche tries to come to terms with the fear
She is physically attracted to Stanley and flirts with him
The audience is supposed to feel...
- The tension and suspense
- Awkward
- Frustration - to Blanche who is self obsessed and Stella for being so kind to Blanche
- Connection - Sympathy for the characters
