Blanche and Stanley

The fist time Blanche is described to us it becomes apparent that she isn't going to fit in to the neighborhood that Stella and Stanley live in. She tells Stella straight to her face that it is an ugly house and she is shocked that she is still living in a dump like that. She brings extravagant outfits so she can out dress everyone and she can't really stand the sight of Stanley because how dirty he is. Blanche starts to compare Stanley to the men the used to date when they were younger even though Stella begs her not to. Once Stanley strikes her Blanche's view of him becomes more dim and more disgust. Blanche is way out of her comfort zone and can't really handle it. She looks down on everyone who is less than her and can't embrace the fact that Stanley and Stella love each other.
