    In the play Blanche is simply misunderstood while in the film she is made out to be delusional. It is noticed that in the film, Kazan made Blanche crazier than Williams intended to in his play. Misha Berson agrees with the fact that Vivien Leigh had a tough character to play, “And it is evidence of the slippery brilliance of Williams’s vision that Blanche’s mental state is as subjectively open to interpretation as a Rorschach blot. In Kazan’s film, Vivien Leigh’s fragile Blanche swiftly sinks into a gardenia-scented vortex of delusion” (111). While Blanche is trying to keep her life on track in the play, she is weakened in the movie by being portrayed as a character who is barely holding on to a thread.…

In the first scene the two families come together in a scruffy environment, it is therefore Blanche who must adjust to the situation. When Stanley exposes Blanche's past and when he rapes her, he turns her ‘upper-class’ upbringing (of which she is very proud) into something without any meaning. The conflict, therefore, is bigger than Stanley vs. Blanche or even male vs. female, it is the Old South vs. the new ind ustrial age and the upper-class life vs. the ‘common’ life. With Blanche, it is not only her sinful ways that causes her misery, it is her upper-class upbringing and clinging to the past that is one of the reasons for her downfall - a tragic end for a tragic character.…

Blanche exerts efforts to maintain the appearance of being an upper-class young innocent woman, even though she is, by all accounts, a “fallen woman” (Abbotson 47).She says to…
