Vivien Leigh is a woman of grace and beauty, and she brings Blanche to life. I think, besides her, there is only one other "art of God" Hepburn who is capable of this kind of performance. (Refer to the performance in "My Fair Lady").
We don't understand what Blanche has been through, what kind of stimulation and hurt. In fact, Blanche is a normal woman like all women. She likes poetry, she likes to dance to a beautiful melody, and she hopes to be favored by a gentleman-like man. Although some love fantasies, some think of herself as noble and hysterical, she also appears elegant. All kinds of style, full of femininity. She is kind, otherwise she wouldn't say something like "No matter what, I'm willing to believe that strangers are kind", this is a beautiful note of kindness to kindness! Mickey's nitpicking and distrust is a reference to men hurting women. Stanley's machismo is also a reference for men to harm women. Blanche, who is in the cracks, represents the sorrow of women. If she was a lunatic before, it was caused by society. If she was a normal person, she would be driven crazy by society sooner or later. Crazy or not, in my eyes, all I see is the endless sadness of women!
