__ **INTERACTION BETWEEN BLANCHE AND STANLEY** __ ·  See Stanley’s contempt for Blanche by the way he mimics her while talking to Stella in the opening of Scene 7 ·  Continually sarcastic in the manner in which he addresses Blanche- calls her ‘canary bird’, ‘toots’, Dame Blanche and even compares her to the President of the USA- as she is so well-known by the supply men in Laurel ·  Tone of delight when he is exposing Blanche’s sexual liaisons ·  Blanche is increasingly worried and frightened when she sees Stanley (stage directions p. 63) · Blanche tries to keep a forced joviality with Stanley but he is curt and unamused by Blanche to the point of being rude (p.63) · Increasing hostility in Stanley’s body language- ‘staring insultingly’ (p.67). Intimidates her.  · Cruelty of Stanley’s actions- says he is giving her a birthday present and it turns out to be a one way ticket out of New Orleans.
