A Streetcar Named Desire (2)

Tonight I finished reading scene 1 of streetcar. So far I've noticed that Blanche is a talker and won't shut up. She is also very defensive about her and Stella's home Belle Reve and how it was lost, which she has yet to say. I feel bad for Stella, if I had to be a sibling to Blanche, I would've left too. And yeah, 10 years ago when their fathjer died, Stella left and found a husband in New Orleans, while Blanche stayed back and apparently tried to save it. Blanche is also a high school teacher, or was , I'm not really sure what happened. Also, Blanche obviously does not want to be seen in the light because I'm guessing because of her wrinkles. I also thought it was kind of mean how she was basically calling Stella fat and how her herself didn't put on any weight. Also when Stanley comes in, he seems to be nice to her and she is just over the top nervous. I don't really know why she would be, and also it seemed like it hit a sore spot when Stanley asked about her husband and she said he died. So I'll keep reading.
