Blanche claims that a wire came for her from Shep, an invitation for her to go on a cruise to the Caribbean. Blanche tells Stanley that not only did she recieve this invitation from her admirer but she sent Mitch packing. She said he came to see her in his work clothes and relayed these stories to her that were so untrue. Then claims he came back begging her forgiveness with a box of roses. But Stanley says he knows theres no oil millionarie and there was no wire and Mitch didn't come back here because he knew where he was. Blanche is surprised and she trys to call someone but then Stanley come back into the room and she leave the phone of the hook. In the end of the Scene Blanche falls to the floor and cries out Stanley picks her up and brings her to the bed. To end the Scene the music gets louder as he rapes her.

Scene 8&9

In Scene 8 Blanche finally comes out of the bathroom to find that Mitch is not coming over and no one will tell her why. She asks Stanley to tell a funny joke or story but he refuses. So Blanche tells what she thinks is a funny story about a parrot who had a dirty mouth. Stanley shows the women how he clears the table, he does this by throwing some dishes on the floor. Blanche insists that Stanley has told Stella something but they both keep denying it. They fight about it a bit after Blanche calls Mitch. Stella is very upset with what Stanley did to her sister. At the end of this Scene Stella says take me to the hospital, which means the baby is coming.

In Scene 9 Mitch goes over to talk to Blanche but she still does not know what he has been told. Throughout this whole Scene there is a Mexican woman in the background saying "flowers for the dead". Blanche keeps hearing the polka music that was playing the night she lost her husband. Mitch is angry with Blanche he tells her everything and she says that some of it is lies. She still claims she has never been to a hotel called the Flamingo, but she jokes abouts going to one called The Tarantula Arms. Blanche tells Mitch everything about her past, even about her young husband and how she lost him. Allan was his name and he killed himself because Blanche knew that he was gay and she told him she saw him with the other man. Blanche says she didn't lie to him in her heart. She said she simply didn't want to loose Mitch. Mitch tries to have sex with Blanche and she tells him to stop before she starts yelling fire. He persists and she starts screaming, he says all he wanted to do was get what he had been missing all summer. He tells her she is to dirty to bring in his home with his mother. Mitch is now is gone and Blanche falls to the floor crying.

Scene 6&7

Scene six is a conversation between Blanche and Mitch, they seem as though they are becoming very close to one another. Blanche tells Mitch of how Stanley is so rude to her and she cannot stay in his house any longer. Mitch is amazed that anyone can be rude to her. He tells her of how he perspires so terribly and she doesn't care, Blanche says its natural.

In Scene seven it's Blanches birthday and Mitch is supposed to come over for supper as they call it and cake. But little did Blanche know that Stanley had been snooping around to find any dirt he could on her. While Blanche is taking one of her daily hot baths Stanley tells Stella all that he has heard. Stella refuses to believe him. Stella asks if Stanley's supply-man told him of all Blanches losses, how she lost her young husband. Stella knows that there are things in Blanches past that aren't great. But Stella still loves her sister no matter what she did in her past. In the background you can they can hear Blanche singing in the tub. Stanley tells Stella not to be expected Mitch over because he has told him all this.


Both these Scenes are short but important.

A Streetcar Named Desire Scene 6-9 Part 2.


From Stanley's perspective of view, its understandable why he want to sent Blanche back to where she came from. After Blanche came and moved in with them, there has been fights between everyone. Stanley couldn't do the things he does without Blanches complains. Blanche always talking about how "high-class" she is, and also she often like to put Stella down, by insulting her. Blanche wasn't respecting Stanley even though she living in his house. If I was Stanley, I would want to kick Blanche out too.

A Streetcar Named Desire scenes 6-9


During the scenes of 6-9, I sort of understand why Blanche done those things in her past, and why she came to Stalla. She found out her husband, who she loves very much has cheated on her with a man (worse than a woman). Then he killed himself. Of course this would make her feel like she's not worth anything. Then she went to Flamingo Hotel, do to the XXX things. To me, she did all these things in her past including Flamingo, is because she want love, and she want to be appreciated, noticed and of course, she probably need the money also since she's "high-class". She then moved to Stella, i feel like maybe because she doesn't want anything t do with her past anymore, and she want to move on. Now she found Mitch, even though it may seem like she may not like him as much, but she still does, and she want stay with him, and grow with him. She doesn't want him to find out about her past, and she just want to begin a new life in New Orleans.

A Streetcar Named Desire

This play is different from the play Ghost. In Streetcar Named Desire, it's mainly about Blanche wanting someone, and she try to manipulate people. But in the play Ghost, it's mainly about Mrs. Alving actually manipulate people in every way and get everything in her way.
