326 Words2 Pages
Blanche is characterized by emotional intensity rather than calculation or judgement. In many situations Blanche’s emotions take over. When Blanche was talking to Stella about Belle Reve the plantation what was lost. She started to use emotion to blame Stella for the plantation being lost Blanche angrily yells at Stella “... you are the one that abandoned Belle Reve, not I! I stayed and fought for it, bled for it, almost died for it!” (20). Though Stella is not at fault for the loss, Blanche blames her because she was not there to help her during the tough times. Blanche did not try to blame the actually economical reasons for the loss instead just blamed Stella for everything. These intense expressions of emotion continue throughout the play.
