LONELINESS

|| ONE || || TWO || || THREE || || FOUR || || FIVE || || SIX || || SEVEN || || EIGHT || || NINE || Blanche has been constantly “lapping up” (pg 71) alcohol in order to escape from reality and fill her loneliness. || TEN || //“Look at yourself! In that worn-out Mardi Gras outfit, rented for fifty cents from some rag-picker! And with the crazy crown on! What queen do you think you are!”// **and** //“Sitting on your throne and swilling down my liquor! I say – HA – HA! Do you hear me? Ha-ha-ha!”//- These words spoken by Stanley to Blanche show his harsh true nature, where he is pointing out the true nature of Blanche. Blanche is shocked an reacts with an “Oh-god”, as if her secrets have been exposed. This speech by Stanley leads Blanche to call Mr. Shep Huntleigh, someone who she probably doesn’t know, and therefore shows the audience how alone she really is and evokes pity from the audience. || ELEVEN || ||
