Without any money Blanche’s life wasn’t glamorous anymore. When Blanche went to visit Stella, her illusion began. She tried to hide the truth about who she really was in Laurel, a teacher who was fired for sleeping with a student and a women known for sleeping around with many men. Blanche’s fantasy began as she made she made herself out to be an old-fashioned woman who was proper and modest, which was not true at all. Stanley exposed Blanche’s illusion when he confronted Blanche’s lie about staying at the the Flamingo by saying, “ She moved to the Flamingo!
Another benefit would be incorporating her parents into more sessions because I believe half of the issue lies with them. Unlike the movie I don’t think it is smart to have Lisa and Susanna in such close quarters, as they are not good for each other. Psycho The issue that caused Susanna’s parents to take her to the institution was her suicide attempt; it portrays her taking an entire bottle of aspirin followed by alcohol. The events leading her to this event see to be the stress she is feeling of having a relationship with a much older married
She was so blinded by love that it was inconceivable that her husband was gay. Her “blind light” that was supposed to open up her eyes to new possibilities, shaped her to be the confused and conflicted person she is now. After the death of her husband, she lost grip on reality, causing her to live in her own lies, eventually beginning to believe
What is a person who has just been concurrent “bad cards” supposed to do? Is it so wrong to try to turn against what one was brought up to believe in order to escape the harsh realities of daily life? Was Blanche then wrong for trying her best to conceal her past and attempt a new life, a new identity? Blanche’s issue is that she is motivated by her desires and those desires lead her to be impulsive. Still she is a product of the sum of all the bad things that had happened in her life, the blunt of which she did not ask for.
She bares her shoulder to her lover and begins to caress him; this is a level of overt sexuality that has not been seen in poetry since the Renaissance. We then learn that Porphyria is defying her family and friends to be with the speaker; the scene is now not just sexual, but transgressively so. Illicit sex out of wedlock presented a major concern for Victorian society; the famous Victorian “prudery” constituted only a backlash to what was in fact a popular obsession with the theme: the newspapers of the day reveled in stories about prostitutes and unwed mothers. Here, however, in “Porphyria’s Lover,” sex appears as something natural, acceptable, almost wholesome: Porphyria’s girlishness and affection take prominence over any hints of immorality. For the Victorians, modernity meant numbness: urban life, with its constant over-stimulation and newspapers full of scandalous and horrifying stories, immunized people to shock.
Ruth, who suffers from her inability to distinguish reality from illusion, was a victim of a horrible relationship. She admits “ I had a boyfriend who tied me up and put me in a wardrobe so I wouldn’t run away” in the name of love. She tells the she “cried for days” after he left her. This twisted irony directly reflects her incapability to differentiate what is love and what she is told or deludes to be love. The play “Cosi” demonstrates that relationships that are based on love that is not genuine will easily perish, through exemplifying the failed relationships of the
Blanche is an insecure, miserable older woman who masks herself as a rich, upper class lady. She continues to shy from reality and seduce men as she cannot comprehend that her reliance on men will ultimately lead to her downfall She realizes that she is aging and thus by engaging in sexual trysts with men, she thinks that she is still wanted and that she still has a place in society despite her current status. “After the death of Allan - intimacies with strangers was all I seemed able to fill my empty heart with...panic, that drove me from one to another, hunting for some protection.” (Williams, pg 146). William captures the problem of distressed women in our society through the portrayal of the rape scene between Stanley and Blanche. The scene exemplifies the power struggle between the two and is a representation of the society.
She lies about her husband’s vulgar behaviour and justifies it through clichés. While Blanche lies primarily to others, Stella lies to herself. Both do so as they need to, to survive. At the beginning of the play-from the moment we meet Blanche, we see the idea of telling lies and keeping secrets appear. Blanche is driven by sexual desire but is condemned by it for being a whore.
I further explain to my client that she had no knowledge of the source of the scent, but provided a vivid report of what was observed during her inspection and that any other person would have provided the some conclusion. I commended him for immediately providing an explanation and then asked the case manager to revise her notation to indicate that the scent came from the
Her intentions may be pure as she wants the best for Phoebe, but it doesn’t deny the fact that she’s also doing that for her own self preservation. Secrets that are kept for one’s own, selfish intention cause pain to other, no matter who they are. A different time secrets caused pain to others was when David comes back after days of being away with a pregnant girl named Rosemary. When Paul’s trying to convince his mother to let him stay home from school he describes her as talking calmly and with red eyes from crying (276). Norah is obviously hurt that David has come back with a pregnant girl as she assumes that Rosemary’s pregnant with David’s child.
