Blanche hating Stanley

Blanche hates Stanley because in the scene before he had abused Stella.  She cannot understand why her sister would stay with someone who abuses people.  Blanche thought Stella would stay away.  She thinks that Stanley is very controlling and abusive and that he is not the type of man who is nice to women.  She also thinks he is beneath Stella and her family.  Blanche and Stella come from money and Blanche only thinks of highly of people well off and that aren’t slobs.  Stanley is a lower class, abusive rugged man who is not someone Blanche wants to see her sister with.  She would rather her sister better off and with someone who would support her and take care of her well.

Vivian-
I thought your blog was very good and informative. I could tell that you thought out your answer because you wrote down many examples of why Blanche did not like Stanley.
Keep up the good work !
