Stella and Blanche - A Streetcar Named Desire

Characters will always have some sort of internal conflict. In 'A Streetcar Named Desire' Blanche's character has been used to show self-conflict. This is because she is described as wanting a relationship, but she knows she is too old by now and that she is not good enough.

Stella wants to try and move on from her past in the Southern Belle and settle into a new life with her husband, Stanley. However, Blanche is an obstacle for Stella. This is because she is always reminiscing on their past because she is not ready or willing to move on because she doesn't have anything without it. Blanche is also always flirting with Stella's husband Stanley, and due to the fact Blanche has no money/not enough to live by on her own, she is always getting in the way of the marriage and stopping them spending time together.
