Blanch enters in all white. this foreshadows the end of the play as she goes mad and 'fades to grey'
'Bananas and Coffee'- rural area, always things going on. 'Coffee'- Awake- the city is always up and running
Brown River- old, dirty, opposite of Elysian Fields
'You had to live in these conditions'- not what Blanch is used to. maybe she's hiding her jealousy with negativity

'mostly white frame, weathered grey' - white symbolises innocence/ purity which has faded. Blanche wears white when she arrives-foreshadowing that her innocence may also fade

'easy intermingling of races'- there isn't any racial segregation or discrimination, showing how different New Orleans is to the rest of the south.

'Elysian Fields'- links to Greek mythology of a paradise, which it obviously isn't. The last streetcar that Blanche rode was called 'Cemeteries', linking to the idea of a Paradise.

'Blue' - mournful
piano - expressful, bleak, sad, alone, solitude

'The houses are mostly...' pluralising the word 'house' shows that the buildings are all very similar -maybe representative of the type of life the people in the area live.

'brown river' unhygienic, disregarded and neglected like the area

'Elysian Fields' ( Elysian fields meaning the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous in the Greek age ie heaven) -very ironic considering the manner in which the area is described.

Old and weathered, was once new but has depleted.
Uses the blue piano for atmosphere.
Demonstrates the idea that something that was once beautiful has now weathered shows a relation to Blanche.

Rather old ad named Elysian fields juxtaposes the actual appearance.
white gone grey shows the loss of innocence in the city.

"two rooms not clearly defined."
