As some of you may know this is my second time reading this play. I personally thought it was great and as many believe things are better the second time around. I can agree. In the first few acts we meet almost all the characters. The most important ones would be Blanche, Stella, Stanley, and Mitch. Blanche is Stella's sister from Mississippi. Blanche is crazy in my eyes, she flirts with her own sisters husband, she flirts with his friend. And she lies, Blanche states in the beginning that she rarely touches liquor. But when she thinks no one is watching she drinks up. Stella and Blanche come home to unintentionally interrupt the boys poker game. This is where Blanche meets Mitch one of Stanley's poker buddies. Stanley get angry when Blanche turns the music on he throws the music box out the window and flips out. He hits Stella and then his friends throw him in a shower. Blanche takes Stella upstairs to Eunice's house, but Stella runs back down to Stanley as soon as he starts calling for her. Everyone tries to tell Blanche that it is okay and this always happens and that Stanley and Stella love one another. Blanche doesn't get it.
Blanche = Depressed, alcoholic with a serious mental condition
Stella = Crazy, pregnant woman who loves her woman beating husband
Stanley = Drunk, barbaric controlling man who thinks everyone should be below him
Watch this video. It shows Stanley throw the music box out the window. As well as Stanley calling out for Stella after the fight. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi4239655193/
