In the part of A Streetcar Named Desire that I read today (The end of scene 1),  Stanley meets Blanche for the first time. Stanley admits that he didn't know Blanche was coming to visit, but he doesn't seem to mind. If anything, it almost seemed as if he was flirting with her. In the beginning of Scene 2, Stella tells Stanley to be nice to Blanche, which doesn't seem like it will be difficult for him. We also find out that Stella is pregnant, but doesn't want Blanche to know. She says she will tell her when she starts to feel better, because she has been crying a lot since she lost Belle Reve.
