In addition to the previous answer, which was
great
Blanche had no choice but to avoid reality. How could
she live with herself when the world she knew since she was little had just been removed
from under her feet?
The world from where Blanche came was
glamorous, enticing, and promising. She was the typical Southern Belle which would
accept gentlemen callers, attend cotillions, and be treated like a
princess.
She had it all- She married her teenage
sweetheart, she was rich, she had an education, and a reputation for being a
stunner.
Suddenly, her husband has a gay love affair behind
her back, ends up committing suicide, lost her estate, her family became sick, Stella
went off to marry a doubtful man and, Blanche was left
behind.
She ended up re-building a woman from broken
pieces, only she picked the worst pieces: Those pieces of her who are sexually invasive,
co-dependent, alcoholic , and lost.
I think Blanche was
already on the way to "Alysian Fields" the moment she set foot on the
streetcar.
