Vivien Leigh played Blanche, the rootless, fading rose, so vulnerable and sympathetic.
Blanche lived with his heart, disregarding the social and ethical norms of the time, pursued love recklessly, and finally fell into exile everywhere.
Blanche wants the love of every man, but who does she really love? Not to mention that she had had an affair with several men in the small town and was kicked out of the school because of her love relationship with a student. From the beginning of the play, as soon as she arrives at her sister's house, she uses her eyes and gestures to invite Stanley to some extent; later, she kisses the teenager who receives magazine money, and at the same time, she walks in the direction of marriage and marriage with Mitch. If Stanley hadn't tipped off to Mitch and Mitch eventually married Blanche, Blanche would have continued to seduce and pursue different men's love affairs.
Blanche longed for men to fall under their pomegranate skirts and be the center of attention. In fact, most people have this kind of vanity. But the vast majority of people do not have the capital to pursue. Blanche has no capital, she has no money and no looks. But she didn't realize it soberly. No more wealthy men are paying for her. No man is ever willing to pay because Blanche can't give men what they really want.
In Blanche's world, she just trades her own tenderness and love for the tenderness and love of others. She didn't understand the need behind a man's praise and tenderness. With the magazine boy, her seduction stops at a kiss. The teenager stood in the rain and waited, and she made no further move. Date Mitch and when Mitch kisses her, her inaction quenches the flames of Mitch's desire. Consciously or unconsciously, she was always seducing her brother-in-law Stanley, and was finally raped by her brother-in-law, but she was even more insane. Presumably she enjoys tenderness and caress, but rejects more.
