A Streetcar Named Desire - Scene 1
Blanche, hoping to remake her life, looks for Stella’s help; but what she found wasn’t what she was expected, because Stella’s new way of life wasn’t similar to the one she had before. "Blanche: I'm looking for my sister, Stella DuBois. I mean - Mrs. Stanley Kowalski" pg 15. But not only Stella´s life have changed; Stanley was now part of it. This new character had the unique objective of discovering Blanche`s secrets and avoiding her happiness, they are completely incompatible.
Blanche wasn’t very happy because Stella left the house and went to a poor family. However, even though Blanche was mad because of Stella`s decision, she was sorry of what she said to Stella before she left. "Blanche: ... I thought you would never come back to this horrible place" pg 19.
Stanley and Blanche’s way of being is totally different; it is evident when they spoke. Stanley is serious, humble and he doesn’t pay attention to Blanche. Blanche is vain; she always needs attention, mostly from men. So this may be a reason of what Stanley feel disgusted about Blanche’s personality. "Staley: ... How long you have for, Blanche? / Blanche: I-don't know yet. / Stanley: You going to shack up here?" pg. 31
