This idea is also see when Mitch says “you’re not clean enough to take home to my mother” (pg75). This reveals her loose nature in the past. In the line “tied an old tin can to a kite” (pg.73) we see the change in Blanche’s attitude towards ‘desire’ from the past in comparison to now. Earlier she held the image of a loose woman but is now trying to clean up her act and looking for stability in her relationship. || TEN || DESIRE: Through the novel we see Blanche’s desire for class and something for more wealthy and superior.
