Oh, if he was just---ordinary! Just plain---but good and wholesome, but---no.” It can be seen here that Blanche is extremely distraught with Stanley. The uses of italicized words display Blanche’s emphasis on the fact that Stanley is nothing like the men from her old life. Blanche is also speaking in a very choppy manner, especially in comparison to her usual over flamboyant way of speech. These abrupt, declarative statements demonstrate her utter contempt for Stanley.

What man does criticize his wife for a birthmark? No man who truly loves his wife does this. “Then why did you take me from my mother’s side? You cannot love what shocks you!" (1035) she responded burst into tears when Aylmer said: “…you came so nearly perfect from

Furthermore, there's no Holden without repetition. He's the reason we hate him so much. Real people are annoying, too! When you say things like “Boy, I can't stand that sonuvabitch. He's one sonuvabitch I really can't stand!”(pg.
“Why are you scared? You hate her, and you’re finally getting to tell her how much you don’t want to be friends, what’s up?” My best friend had said to me patting my back to calm me down. “I’m terrified of her, she used me and manipulated me in the worst ways, messing with my mind.
