A Streetcar Named Desire
1. Read this passage, and then answer the question that follows it:
BLANCHE: I have to plan for us both, to get us both — out! STELLA: You take it for granted that I am in something that I want to get out of. BLANCHE: I take it for granted that you still have sufficient memory of Belle Reve to find this place and these poker players impossible to live with. STELLA: Well, you’re taking entirely too much for granted. BLANCHE: I can’t believe you’re in earnest. STELLA: No? BLANCHE: I understand how it happened — a little. You saw him in uniform, an officer, not here but — STELLA: I’m not sure it would have made any difference where I saw him. BLANCHE: Now don’t say it was one of those mysterious electric things between people! If you do I’ll laugh in your face. STELLA: I am not going to say anything more at all about it! BLANCHE: All right, then, don’t! STELLA: But there are things that happen between a man and a woman in the dark — that sort of make everything else seem — unimportant. [Pause.] BLANCHE: What you are talking about is brutal desire — just — Desire! — the name. of that rattle-trap street-car that bangs through the Quarter, up one old narrow street and down another... STELLA: Haven’t you ever ridden on that street-car? BLANCHE: It brought me here, — Where I’m not wanted and where I’m ashamed to be... STELLA: Then don’t you think your superior attitude is a bit out of place? BLANCHE: I am not being or feeling at all superior, Stella. Believe me I’m not! It’s just this. This is how I look at it. A man like that is someone to go out with — once — twice — three times when the devil is in you. But live with ! Have a child by? STELLA: I have told you I love him. BLANCHE: Then I tremble for you! I just — tremble for you… STELLA: I can’t help your trembling if you insist on trembling! [from Scene 4] |
