So it seems like its been a while since I've done one of these babies but it hasn't really been that long at all I think I may have caught it...Senioritis! But I can and will do this. So I'm just about finished with Streetcar and I love it a lot more then Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. I read from page 1 to page 162 and scenes 1-10. With only one scene left I am getting very excited to see how the play ends.
So what happens? Well after Blanche arrives at her sisters 2 roomed New Orleans Apartment shocked by its rawness and expecting something more glamors for her little sister she grows more surprised when she meets Stella's husband the rough Stanley and learns Stella's expecting. After Stanley strikes Stella at the poker game a horrified Blanche realizes Stanley's one of those abusive drunks and Stella seems helpless to his lust for her. She promptly tries to convenience Stella that her and Stanley's relationship is not healthy and not loving. But Blanche is running from mistakes that are haunting her and hiding them from both her sister and simpleton summer love. Scene ten ends with Blanche and Stanley's affair while Stella is in labor. But by this point Blanches past has spilled out. All of it how she was fired from her job at the school, her affair with her 17 year old student, how she lost her and Stella's beautiful country home.
And all thats left..a mess of lies.
