4/4/12 Journal

I am now on Scene 4 in A Streetcar Named Desire. At this point in the play, Blanche is very disappointed in Stella for coming back home and sleeping with Stanley after the fight that happened the night before. Stella tells Blanche that she is making a big deal out of nothing and that Stanley apologized for his outburst during the card game. She said that it is just how he is and sometimes when he gets really she is sometimes thrilled by it. Blanche sort of changes the subject after Stella makes that statement, but then ends up going back to the fact that Stella is married to a madman and how she needs to build up the strength to leave him because she is still young.
