Context= It's Blanche's bday and Stanley found some tea on her time back in Laurel. He spills the tea to Stella and even Mitch whilst Blanche is having karaoke in the bathroom.

Themes= Appearance vs Reality, Fantasy and Delusion, Femininity vs Masculinity, Mental illness

"Say, it's only a paperwork, sailing over a Cardboard Sea- But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me!"
- Popular ballad
- familiar colloquation, idiom, word play, metaphor, irony; "Only a paperwork," "..make-believe if you believed in me!"
- links to appearance vs reality theme
- frontal conjunction, spoken language feature hedging (because she's singing a refren?? like the thing in poem stanzas) "-But" also juxtaposition as she says its only fake but then goes on to ask about being believed in
- symbolic to how blanche thinks its OK to lie a little bit as a woman (+ link to scene where she talks about "magic!" and "women are 50 percent illusion" paraphrased)

"Killed her illusions!"
- Stella shows awareness of Blanche's fantastic lying habits? Lacks ability to help her cope maybe? link to how Williams wasn't really able to help his sister either

Blanche- ‘Mr Shep Hunetleigh. I wore his ATO pin my last year at college”- allusion, deixis, allusion, anaphoric reference- class, reality vs. illusion

Blanche- “Here’s something I always break out on special occasions like this! The silk pyjamas I wore on my wedding night’- exclamative, juxtaposition, anaphoric reference, deixis, adverb, transitory verb

# data[].attributes.body
Theme of masculinity is evident throughout the scene.
“What do you two think you are? A pair of queens?” Interrogative creates a sarcastic tone suggesting that Stanley views them as inferior to him

“Every man is a king! And I am the king around here, so don’t forget it!”
Exclamative creates an authoritative tone and highlights that Stanley is no longer putting up with blanches ignorant southern belle attitude

# data[].attributes.body
·         The scene starts with Stella telling Stanley that she will take Blanche out in order to get her out of the house for the boys’ poker night

·         Stella explains that Blanche has lost Belle Reve and asks Stanley to be nice to her

·         Tension is created between Stanley and Stella: Stanley believes that whatever Stella owns is also his and is angered by the thought that Blanche may have swindled him (and Stella) out of their share of the money from the sale of Belle Reve. Although this could be interpreted as him worrying about Stella, could also be said that he is selfish.

·         Stanley demands to see the bill of sale for Belle Reve and accuses Blanche of using the money from this sale to buy expensive furs and jewelry but Blanche eventually reveals that the house was ‘lost’ not sold

·         Once again Stella is seen as the submissive character; Stanley uses imperatives against her, as does Blanche, and she has the least speech within this scene. She has the least power within the three characters at this point in time and both Stanley and Blanche seem to want her ‘out of the way’ in order to talk more plainly to one another

Mitch: kind of on your high horse, aint you? - idiom
Stella:why no. You are as fresh as a daisy- similie
Blanche: my nerves are in knots-metaphor
Mitch: poker shouldn't be played in a house with women. - masculinity and femininity

# data[].attributes.body
Stella is packing Blanche’s things and is crying.
Blanche is taking a bath while Stanley is playing poker with his friends. This poker games mirrors the poker game earlier in the game.
“The building is framed by the sky of turquoise” the colour imagery of turquoise represents Stanley’s victory.
“Luck is believing you’re lucky” Stanley saying this portrays that he believes he is in control of faith linking back to his belief that he has overcome Blanche going back to scene 10 when he rapes her.

This portrays the theme of male dominance, that men have to be in charge and control others around them evoking the theme of gender roles and toxic masculinity.

“She has a tragic radiance in her red satin robe “  - Colour Imagery, Hyperbole
This highlights the struggle Blanche has had to go through as a whole.
Red represents the death and fear of her character. This death can foreshadow of her being taken away at the end of the scene.
This creates sympathy for her and relates to Aristotles theory of classical tragedies
This is that because Blanche acts as the Protagonist of the play, the tragic hero has to portray pity and despair

“You’re both Mistaken, it’s Della Robbia blue” -  Colour Imagery, this is meant to represent purity and innocence contrasting the idea of the character of Blanche being with many men in her past

Coming to the end of the scene, Blanche is taken by the Matron with her final line being “Whoever you are- I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”.  This plays to Blanche’s original idea that she focuses on peoples attraction to her as she feels this is the only way she can get by in life. This line contrasts the behaviour towards her in the throughout the play no kindness has been shown to her

The final line of the play , “This game is a seven card stud” relates to the games of poker played through the play. Poker is a game of deceit and bluffing and Steve says this to evoke all the bluffing and lying that had gone on in the Kowalski house. This further summarises the theme of fantasy vs delusion highlighted in the play.

# data[].attributes.body
“You have been swindled…i’m swindled”- Anaphora, themes of money and control

“He pulls open, he jerks out” - Dynamic verbs + aggressive language - themes of violence and gender

“Hurls, jerks, fistful” - animalistic foreshadowing, themes of masculinity and vulnerability and gender (stereotypical male)

“What’s all the monkey doings?” - Idiom

“It is six o clock the following evening, Blanche is bathing” - Blanche’s frequent baths symbolises her yearning for cleansing. Themes of fantasy and delusion

- For some reason I felt it was a bit too generalised, because both texts are big and have a lot of characters so finding subtle nuances was a bit harder to properly answer the question.
- notations on social realism and tragedy genres, retrospective outlooks, story structuring, links to contextual knowledge, characterisations, effect on audience, calling both didict literature (persuasive, with a meaning) writers message, themes, metaphor, how the characters changed on their journeys with examples, Adjectives, imagery, pre mod phrases, similies, negative connotations, parallels between authors' lives and texts, diction and dialect analysis, rhetorics.
