Blanche Dubois

Blanche Dubois: sexual desire: blanche admits that she knows about sexual desire many a time thoughout the play but particulary in scene four: "when the devil is in you"
"you make my mouth-water"
"you look like a young prince of the arabian nights"
contradictions: she has a seductive manner yet only responds well to old fashioned ideals
flirts with stanley
inconsistencies in her personality and behaviour - a hypocrite
ignorance of Belle Reves loss
unpredictable in nature
appearance is, "incongruous to the setting"
"white" contradicts her sexual curiosity in the past - she wants to portray herself as virginal because she longs for a fairy tale love
"ressembled a moth"- delicate figure and fading beauty that , "most avoid a strong light"
she appears insecure in her appearance as constantly asks stella for her opinions
Faults: snobbery, calls stanley a polack…
