blanche i feel like hasthis "man-memory".when someone hurts her she goes back to the day she lost her husband,when she hurt someone.its like this reflex of pain any pain around her she just goes back into her memory.
mitch has a backbone here!he finally stops being whipped basically by blanche and i say good for him!blanche used him for her own attention addiction.and when the attention left she lost her head.when he comes back to her she thinks he's going to be the same spineless guy she knows and "loves".i don't think blanche's feelings for mitch are very true.i think after loosing her husband and her prostitution days she's lost that ability for making real loving connections.if its not for attention and positive attention at that,she doesn't want anything to do with them.
could blanche's insecurity about her apperance be her desire to go back to when she was happy?and to hold on to the times when she had no cares,had her love and no family problems.she wants to stay in that young and fun time period for her.her age brings her away from that.besides just being pretty and wanting attention she's like anyone else.age is what holds you on to your happy days.and blanche has a great reason to want to hold on to her happy days.before death and responsibility and all her pain.thats what old means to her.so young is her salvation.
