Blanche avoids appearing in direct, bright light, especially in front of her suitor, Mitch. (Mitch points this out in scene 9,when he confronts her with the stories Stanley has told him of her past.)

• Both Stanley and Blanche drink excessively at various points during the play
• Stanley’s drinking is social: during their poker games, and to celebrate the birth of his child
• Blanche’s drinking  is anti-social: She tries to keep it a secret. She drinks on the sly in order to withdraw from harsh reality.
