Blanche Dubois- 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
These questions are a reflection of how I think Blanche DuBois would feel and act during the scene in which she confesses to Mitch about her first marriage to a homosexual.
Who am I?
I am Blanche DuBois, a woman running from my past and afraid of it catching up with me.
Where am I?
I feel very alone but I am currently courting Mitch we have returned home and I am forever surrounded by the thought of Stanley. Everywhere I look I can see Stanley's belongings, now I live here I feel I own nothing, everything I once owned is now his, even my sister Stella
What time is it?
I am unsure of the time but it is evening and there is only simple lighting.
What surrounds me?
Stanley surrounds me, I am in his house which makes me feel uneasy as I am unsure as to what time he is returning.
What do I want?
I want to feel free from my past and the only way I can do that is tell my good friend Mitch about it. I feel overcome with it, especially living with Stella and Stanley. I need a release and I want to escape.

What is in my way?
The fact that I know I was in the wrong for doing what I did in my past and I do not know how Mitch or Stanley will react. Stanley is the main thing in my way, I want my sister to realize what sort of a man he is: bestial, direct and a bully; almost animalistic.

What do I do to get what I want?
I want my sister to leave Stanley and we can restart a new life together. I know this will be difficult as she is pregnant however I need my past to be forgotten but Stanley will not allow it. I tell Mitch of my past in Belle Reve so that he will sympathize with me and see that I am just as vulnerable as he is.
