How Does Williams want us to feel about Blanche in the opening scene?

At the start of the scene, the Blanche is introduced svelte conspicuously in white, as if she were arriving at a summer tea leaf or cocktail party. Williams is trying to portray a sense of youth, innocence and purity in her clothing, but she is obviously out of place n cardinaltheless she is to a fault described as a moth-an unpleasant creature of the dark, so there is obviously more to her than meets the eye. She has an air of great self-importance and she is posh, and thence slightly out of place. She is used to grander settings than Elysian Fields Her expression is one of shocked disbelief. She is also unimpressed at the state of her sisters house.She is also very rude and dismissive towards people of lower status, bid her overly-helpful populate Eunice. After at first failing to get rid of her with boring, one-word answers, she honestly tells her to go away What I meant was Id like to be left alone, offending Eunice. She feels superior to Eunice, and is non used to havi ng to answer questions from people she deems to be below her.Once alone, Blanche begins to explore her sisters house. Her eye is caught by a bottleful of whiskey in a half-opened closet, and we find out that she is no novice when it comes to tipsiness. Whereas earlier she was sitting in a chair very slapdash with her shoulders slightly hunched, now she springs up and crosses to it (the whiskey). She tosses down half a tumbler, in front hiding the evidence, thus revealing her secretive nature. This theme of her secret drinking habit continues throughout the first scene, as she lies close to drinking and scour has the temerity to claim that ones her limit.She is also patronising and rude towards Stella. She joyously embraces her sister, talk far too much slice trying to maintain her suppress turn that light offI wont be looked at in this merciless glare She doesnt want her sister to see that she is drunk or see through the facade of youthfulness. She then orders her about pa tronisingly while condemning her home What are you doing in a place like this? After at first entrapting up with her sisters degrading comments about her house, Stella describes her as intense, which describes her perfectly.Blanche is also very quick to accuse her sister, in a bid to deflect attention away from her own short-comings You judgment Id been fired? She leaves a lot of things unsaid, such as her reason for deviation her job.She also feels the need for approval from her sister, especially appearance-wise. She orders Stella to stand up, before patronisingly referring to her as a little partridge and informing her that shes put on some weight. Her sister puts up with it thought, obligingly presentment her Its just incredible, Blanche, how well youre looking.Blanch is very quick to judge, set from the very start she is unimpressed by the local area, the neighbours, her sisters home and redden her husbands nationality she ignorantly refers to Polish people as something l ike the Irish, arent theyonly not so highbrow? She is keen to impose herself upon the local community, again display her insatiable need to be liked by others.Eventually she moves on to why she came to be here, apart from taking a leave of absence seizure from the school. She gives some lame excuses, like I want to be nestle you but betrays her cover with the stage direction Her voice drops and her look is scared. However she is able to recover herself enough to launch into a inflated defence of herself after losing the family home, even blaming Stella for leaving Youre a fine one to sit there accusing me of it She also exaggerates greatly, claiming I fought for it, bled for it, almost died for it.
