Stanley scene 2 & 3

We are introduced to Stanley in scene 1 and we see him as this guy who loves Stella and is very much the ladies man.  He seems confident and very in charge.  Also we get a view of what Stella thinks of him in scene 1.  She talks so highly of him about how he had been in the war and how she loved him so much and he loved her.  It seemed as though they had this great love and were completely fond of each other.  We also assume that Stanley is this wonderful guy who is kind to his wife.  In scene 2 and 3 we see a different Stanley who is very controlling and who is kind of abusive.  At the poker game Stanley hits Stella a few times and the last time was very hard.  He also talks rudely to her and isn’t kind to Stelle they way we assumed he would be after hearing about him in scene 1.
