Desire Blanche Dubois’ doom is hinted in the first scene when she asks if she has arrived at Elysian Fields.

Although we observe both Blanche and Stella, our two female protagonists, as stemming from the traditional Southern Background, we soon learn that Stella has left the South and married a working class man in the Jazz city of New Orleans.

4.1. Blanche Ingram According to Heiniger Blanche can be seen as Jane’s foil, since she embodies the perfect “nineteenth-century Angel – an unrealistic male-created ideal” (24). She satis-fies Coventry Patmore’s expectations in regard to appearance: “Men must be pleased.” And her outstanding beauty, described by Mrs. Fairfax, obviously would make her the dream girl of many men: She is “tall”, has a “long graceful neck” and “noble features” “fine hair” and the “glossiest curls” (Brontë 185) Her…

Most people find happiness off of affection from others. In the play, Blanche wants a relationship and love. This can be shown in, "You said you needed somebody. Well, I needed somebody, too. I thanked God for you..." This shows how Blanche was expecting a relationship from Mitch. Blanche has a reputation of being a used, trashy girl; this is…

Blanche, My dear Blanche, I realise that you are not aware of this but when I look into your eyes my entire world fills with light. It is none other than you who becomes this light that effortlessly pulls me away from the darkness within my soul: my insecurity. Your glistening locks of hair along with your elegance and sheer grace are overwhelming, yet the love and adoration that I have for you does not falter. Your large, glowing eyes like lanterns to light my way when I become lost, are full…
