Write a scene between Eunice and Stella where Stella tells about how she feels about Blanche.

Stella appears at Eunice's front door, knocking silently and slowly. Her face as solemn as a monk and her body limp showing how tired she is. She stares at Eunice with a blank look, then sits down on her chair.

Eunice: Hey, babe, what's the matter? You're not yourself. Is this to do with Stanely, because if it is-
Stella: No Eunice, it's fine. However...no I can't think like that.
Eunice: Think like what darling? Come on, tell. (soothingly)
Stella: (hesistently)It's...nothing.
Eunice: It's gotta be if you are coming in here, depressed with a sour look on your face.
Stella: I. Eunice, I can't help thinking that theres something going on between Blanche and Stanley. Every time I find both of them together, I get this peculiar feeling come over me...(shrugs the thought of)it may be nothing.
Eunice: You're damn right it might be nothing. Stella, I'm sure theres a reason, but I don't blame you for feeling that way. Stanley does come across now as shady, escepially now that your sisters in the picture. I say to keep an eye on them, especially him. Hes the one who has the loose ends. He can't keep his anger to a miniumum, slamming this and breaking that. I just wonder why you haven't split with him already.
Stella:hmm...I. I can't do that. I would be losing half of myself if he left me. He loves me even though he does not show it.
Eunice: And what about Blanche?
Stella: She has always been like this, ever since... but she can't feel attracted to Stanely. She always reminds me of how I should not be involved with a guy like Stanely. I somehow listen to her, because shes the older sister, the one whos experienced more than I have. I can't lose her either.

  1. A most interesting scene but not I think the one which was asked for. If this was the response for the specific task then you would lose mark because you do not address any of the issues which the previous scene deal with - Blanche's lies, Stanley's stories about the Hotel Flamingo, Blanche's history as Stella sees it, Allan, her 'flightiness' etc.

    Though this scene might be appropriate later in the play perhaps after the rape, it doesn't seem right here.

    ebi watch for simple errors in punctuation and spelling, grammar and syntax and also be careful to use the slang appropriate to the characters in the play.
