Post 2: After reading scene five

So far my predictions have been confirmed. Personally, I think that those funny and haunting dialogues are what make me feel interested in the play. The way and manner characters talk to each other is very funny and ironic as well, but the one who catches my attention the most is Blanche. She is deliciously ironic and the conversations that she has with Stanley are particularly interesting.

As regards light, music and stage directions, I think that they are absolutely indispensable for the play. They add to the atmosphere and give us, readers,  the possibility to imagine ourselves present in every single scene.

My quotation is:
" All right. Cards on the table. That suits me". (Blanche,scene 2,  page 45)

I think that this quotation show us that Blanche is a good person beyond all. Blanche is sincere with her sister and everybody there as regards the loose of Belle Reve. She is honest and she says the truth. Also, I think that this quotation is important to keep in mind all throughout the play because then nobody trust her about Stanley´s rape.

  1. Can you mention some example of a scene you find funny?

    As regards the use of light and music, consider what we said last class. Think in terms of the audience at the theatre rather than the reader.

    Don't you think your quotation is rather ironic to define Blanche? Think about her behaviour from the moment she arrives at her sister's house.

    NB:beyond all; loose; say the truth; verb agreement with nobody
