3/6/12 Journal

Today I continued reading Act 2 of A Streetcar Named Desire.  Stanley begins to question the whole situation about Blanche losing the country place they owned. Stella does not want to talk about it because she is afraid it will upset Blanche. Stanley wants to know more details about it because he has not seen any papers, and Stella hasn't mentioned anything about how it was lost and if anyone else owns it now. Stanley brings up the Napoleonic Code, and how he thinks they have been swindled under it. He says that Blanche seems to be doing too well for herself not to have any money left from the property.
