CHARACTERISATION

BLANCHE:

Described in intricate detail in the opening scene - her clothes as well as the impression she gives of delicacy and vulnerability.
Her appearance becomes more clear as the play goes on - slim figure, delicate face, fading beauty= described in stage directions and audience gathers more info via comments from other charcters.
Williams emphasises on her class snobbery in opening scene (dismisses Eunice's company & black neighbour's kindness) & is then seen again in final scene - rudely dismisses Eunice's gift of grapes (concern over cleanliness).
Heavy drinker - craving for alcohol due to her guilt for her husband's suicide & her promiscuity; offers her temporary amnesia & reassurance
