scene 7

stanley told stella all of blanche's secrets while blanche just takes her bath and is happy and singing.

i know stella comes from the same backround as blanche but i feel like she's un educated.like she's on the same level as stanley rather than her sister.but i feel so bad for stella because she always has to care for blanche.she's pregnant!and she's the little sister.blanche should just learn to be her own person by now.she has to realise that she's lost her job,her old home,she has no one to support her,and she's going to have to leave stella and stanley at some point,so why isn't she adjusting while she can?why continue hanging on to people when they wont be there very soon?

it really annoys me that stanley told mitch about blanche's past,like if he hates her that much why ruin her chances at leaving him alone and possibly getting married to mitch or at least dating or something!him letting her secrets out just makes everything worse.or if he REALLY hated her why not let her secrets come out when she's with mitch?i guess he was protecting mitch but i mean if hurting blanche was his main goal there are far better ways of going about that.

i also love how blanche is singing about believing,when her secrets are being told behind her back.its such an perfect subject for the scene.stella doesn't believe stanley and blanche still believes all of her lies are being accepted as the truth.the irony is just great.its like such a contrast,blanche being happy and cheerful and stella and stanley having this really serious conversation on trust and blanche's history.i think thats like such a great moment.
