Question 1

Blanche DuBois

Answer 1

Stella’s older sister, 30 years old.
Was a high school English teacher taught in Laurel, Mississippi, until recently forced to leave her position.
Nervous and constantly on edge.
When she was younger, she married a man who later turned out to be gay and killed himself because of it.
Spiraled into a pattern of promiscuity and alcoholism because she lost Belle Reve.
Clings desperately desperately to the trappings of her fading southern belle self.
Is repulsed by Stanley, yet finds herself almost hypnotically attracted by his physical power.
