She recalls running into him in Miami and explains he is very wealthy using a metaphor of "Texas is literally spouting gold in his pockets." (Page 43). Shep is Blanche's ideal husband because of his connections and success in the oil well business.]]> 2021-11-07 12:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872654080 1610061 https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872657184 Blanche's fixation with Shep shows that the reason she marries is not for love but for money. Because Shep has the financial means to support her and house her she becomes obsessed with the idea of him, and this shows that she is shallow. This can be seen in Scene Four as she says that her trip to Miami was to meet wealthy suitors "I took the trip as an investment, thinking I'd meet someone with a million dollars.". (Page 43).]]> 2021-11-07 12:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872657184 1610061 https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872658201 Blanche's persistent belief that Shep is coming to find her distorts her reality and is taken notice by Stella and Stanley. As Stanley confronts Blanche about her lies regarding her past in Scene 10, he points out the ridiculousness of her fantasies.  He asks the rhetorical question of "Was this before or after the telegram came from the Texas oil Millionare?"(Page 94). ]]> 2021-11-07 12:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872658201 1610061 https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872658930 Blanche's lies about Shep and how wealthy he is makes Stanley and the audience think of her as insane. She talks about Shep as though they really do know each other, saying "This man is a gentlemen and he respects me (improvising feverishly) What he wants is my companionship." (Page 93). The stage direction of '(improvising feverishly)' adds onto Blanche's concerning mental state. ]]> 2021-11-07 12:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1872658930 1610742 https://padlet.com/angelina_mok/Streetcar_ShepHunleigh2021/wish/1875298954  Shep Huntleigh represents Blanche's lack of mental stability. When Blanche has high stress or when she panics, she tries to make up stories in her head which help to comfort her. Shep Huntleigh is one of those imaginations and the representation of her imagination.
