Hi, when Stanley questions Blanche about the family estate, Belle Reve, which Blanche claims was lost, she tries to diffuse his questions by distracting him with her beauty. She starts flirting, spraying him with a puff of perfume and even fishing for compliments. Unlike the gentlemen she is used to swaying with her charm, Stanley is not distracted by such social fabrications as allure and elusive talk. This discrepancy in forms of attraction is demonstrated when Stanley mangles the yellowed love letters from Blanche’s dead husband. He has spoiled the romantic ideals she grew up fantasizing about.
