Is Stanley a lowly human?

Regardless of Blanche's explicit intimations, Stanley would not say a single cosmetic compliment that Blanche wanted to hear. He admits that he has a straight-forward style when dealing with women. He didn't have the patience to fasten his wife's sister's buttons. In other words, he didn't intend to take this small advantage and give up the investigation into how his wife and sister's family lost the manor. He knows the importance of looking at legal documents and asking a lawyer to review them. After discovering that his sister-in-law persuaded his wife to leave him behind his back, he began to investigate his sister-in-law's past.

When Stanley asked his wife and sister if she had anything to do with the Flamingo Hotel, his eyes were vicious and contemptuous, which was tantamount to admonishing her that he had seen through her trump card. At this time, Stanley had completely despised this sister-in-law, and the act of arranging the shirt into the pants was done under the eyes of the sister-in-law.

When Stanley learned that Mickey was courting the woman as a conservative lady, he intervened. In fact, Blanche and Mickey are likely to be happy, at least in the show. But Stanley's motives for debunking Blanche are understandable. The wife and sister who squeezed into his house and affected the relationship between his husband and wife regarded him as a low-level human being. How could he not feel that this woman is hypocritical and shameless? How could he not reveal the truth? !

Stanley reacted violently to Blanche's calling him Polish. He felt that neutral terms like Polish should be used.

Besides Mickey, Mickey has been courting Blanche all summer. Invest in true love, long for a kiss but not for a long time. So, knowing Blanche's terrible past not only shattered Mickey's love and his simple hope of marrying an innocent woman before his old mother died, but also gave his masculine presence a devastating violence. hit! It turns out that she is so frivolous, it turns out that she is a man! But he has to work hard and beg for a kiss for a summer.

After hearing Blanche's confession with his own ears, Mitch stepped forward to be frivolous. He had no intention of marrying Blanche, but after being "taunted" one summer, he felt that since Blanche was so dissolute, why should he want to marry Blanche? What about excluding him from Mickey? He said that this affectionate Blanche owed him a summer. Because he felt that they could have a spring breeze if they knew it earlier! What are you pretending to be!

Stanley sends his wife to the hospital to give birth, and finds that Blanche has completely fallen into a hallucination. For this fantasy world, he could only use language and logic to break through, but he couldn't really drag her out and attack her. Stanley couldn't sympathize with Blanche, and with her self-indulgent surroundings so high, why sympathize? He finally used violence. Afterwards, running water washed the muddy ground, alluding to the indescribable filth.

Even Mickey wants to take advantage of Blanche, and it's not surprising that Stanley has this idea. He may think, isn't this woman who wears makeup all day long, wears dangling bells and bares her neck, looking forward to this? Unlike Mickey, Stanley forcibly subdues Blanche, who is clearly horrified by Blanche's resistance. Physically, both men are strong men, but Mickey's mind is lower than Blanche's and can be teased and frightened by her; Stanley is Blanche's gravedigger. Blanche couldn't play him or frighten him. Miss Nanfang, who lost the manor, in Stanley's eyes, is a monster woman who has already committed herself to the dust and is under the fence...

Blanche's sister and Stanley's poker friends no doubt already knew what was going on. Doubtful at least. The landlord's wife, Eunice, persuaded Stella not to trust Blanche, otherwise she would not be able to live, referring to Stanley's rape... The poker players looked at Stanley with strange eyes, and they should have heard of it. But Blanche has gone completely crazy...

The months spent at his sister's house were nothing short of a destructive journey for Blanche. Every step of her has its rational and rational side. From the standpoint of the southern aristocrats, her words and deeds were standard, and dealing with the family's illness and burial sounded in line with the etiquette and customs of the local big family. There is a reason for her depravity, and her lies are not only for the protection and struggle for her own interests, but also because the truth is truly unbearable. The debauchery of strangers and the prudence of those who are in love are inherently different situations, not irreconcilable! This is such a poor and real person.

Stanley, on the other hand, lived a happy life even though he was infertile. The relationship between husband and wife is very close, and his friends are close to him. He often plays cards and bowls at night. The physical work in the factory is very good. He is a mainstream figure in his circle. Physically, there is alcohol to drink, meat to eat, and a car to drive. Although the clothes are tattered, there are clothes for all occasions! Bowling, formal, and silk pajamas. He couldn't have liked the world where there was beautiful music, literature, and everyone was polite. In such a world, he has become a low-level human being, who would want to degrade his world like this! His razor-sharp words to Blanche are actually worth watching. In the prosperous old world of the South, people tell white lies. The malicious truth is finally in the last round of confrontation at the beginning of the new era, like a torrential rain pouring down...
