Post 2: After reading Scene Five- Paula Orozco

After reading Scene Five I was able to confirm that the play involved humor and that it has mystery in many scenes (what makes the plot intriguing). What's more, I confirmed that sex was related to the play. An example of this could be when Blanche informed Stanley that the plantation in Belle Reve was lost because of "our improvident grandfathers and father and uncles and brothers exchanged the land fot their epic fornications".

The character I like best is Blanche. I think I like her because she is unpredictable and has a lot of personality traits to be discovered. So far I can describe her as melodramatic, impulsive, ironical, emotional, superficial, superior and a gold digger.

In my opinion, the stage directions, light and music are particularly important to set the mood of the play. While I was reading it, those descriptions made me feel "inside" the scene and helped me to imagine more detailed the situation.

The quotation I selected is:"Honey, would I be here if the man weren't married?" Blanche. (Scene Four, page 85)
I have chosen this quotation because it reflects some of the most important characteristics Blanche has. They are: superficial and gold digger. She went on a trip only to find a millionaire, no matter which kind of person he could be, she was willing to get married because of money.

  1. Very good description of Blanche! Why do you think she's so desperate to find a rich husband?

    NB: what vs which: have vs has
