2/28/12 Journal

Today I continued to read A Streetcar Named Desire. I picked up from where I last left off, which was when Blanche was telling her sister that she had not been fired from her job, but her boss had told her to take a leave of absence. From this, she seems to quickly change the subject. She begins to criticize Stella about her weight, and how she does not have a maid. Stella tells her that because she only has two rooms, so there is no need for a maid. Stella shows Blanche where she will be staying, and Blanche begins drop hints that she can tell she is not wanted, and that Stella probably hopes she will go to a hotel. She also says how she can't do that because she isn't well. Stella brings up that she seems a little bit nervous. Right after she says this, Blanche changes the subject abruptly once again and asks if she thinks Stanley will like her.
