The changes which Blanche goes
through in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
- Change in mental state
- gradual progression into insanity
- illustrated by the frequency and the
intensity of the Varsuviana (polka
tune)
- loss of grasp over reality
- at the beginning, she can still
distinguish what is real and
what is not
- by the end her two worlds (fantasy and
reality) have merged together
- Change in circumstance
- new situation (loss of
wealth and money)
- new location
- loss of Belle Reve
- moving to New Orleans
- different culture
- different mentality
- Old South versus New South
- Forced adaptation to her new situation
- The one thing that doesn't
change is her desperate need
for fantasy
