Blanche sees Stanley as the cause of conflict between her and Stella
A barrier to getting what she wants
- Stanley's volatility/violence/strength/unpredictability escalates/fuels the conflict
- Power battle between Stanley and Mitch
- Suspicions and secrets (around Belle Reve) - Right to investigate?
- Blanche's clothes, like Blanche herself have a glamorous exterior
- Jealousy - Blanche is jealous of Stanley and Stella - Jealous of her lose of control over Stella
Escalating conflict that leads to climax
The audience feels a connection with...
Stella because she is a victim and is caring, kind and tries to do the right thing
=> we feel sympathy, empathy
Mitch because he is caring, polite, gentlemanly, he tries and is a contrast to the other men
=> we feel sympathy for him because he is socially awkward and because of his backstory
Blanche because she has lost and is insecure and out of place
She is also funny, intelligent, witty
=> rapport
Stanley because he has loss (power and control), Blanche is a nuisance
He is also in love, vulnerable and emotional
