One of Cate Blanchett's best scenes is being thrown out of the car by her fiancé, with all her belongings in disarray, and Molly picking it up in her bag, inadvertently straightening her tight skirt, and walking away. She's going to see her stepson, and we know her schedule. Back at the old sister's house, her armpit was wet with a dark blotch.
It's a great character that can hold a lot of people's lives. Vanity and pathos, selfishness and weakness, impenitence, domination and exchange of interests. Life is both painful without love, and ashamed to put down the air. Jasmine wants to take control of her own life, in a way of surrendering her soul, she needs the presence of "I am right" and "I am great" all the time. Her loneliness is self-inflicted, and from a psychological point of view, she needs a sense of security too much. Even if that's false self-deception.
