- A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennesse Williams
- Blanche
- "Her expression is one of shocked disbelief" shows she doesn't believe her sister lives there as it's run-down and lower class.
- "Her appearance is incongruous to this setting" which shows she doesn't fit in with Elysian Fields as she is of higher class.
- "She is daintily dressed in a white suit", "earrings of pearl, white gloves and hat" shows the elegant, posh, aristocratic manner she had.
- "She had an uncertain manner" and her "white clothes, suggests a moth" shows how delicate she is. Moths are delicate and they are attracted to flames which destroy them. These quotes hints at how delicate she is.
- She comes from a posh, aristocratic background where she is used to men respecting women.
- They return to the ongoing poker night and Blanche says "Please don't get up" even though the weren't planning on it. This shows she expects them to stand when women enter and have a gentlemanly manner.
