3/7/12 Journal

Yesterday, I continued reading the play A Streetcar Named Desire. At this point of the play, Blanche is getting ready to go out and Stanley is still questioning her. Blanche is trying to get a compliment out of Stanley, but he reveals that he never compliments women about their looks. After this conversation, Blanche sends Stella out to get her a coke, so her and Stanley can finish talking. Stanley brings up the Napoleonic code and admits that he thinks Blanche is lying. Blanche says that she is not lying to them and that the papers are in her trunk.
