[Page] 141 [Quotation] Blanche: He’s just not the sort that goes for jasmine perfume! But maybe he’s what we need to mix with our blood now that we’ve lost Belle Reve and have to go on without Belle Reve to protect us…. [Analysis] 
Blanche seems to acknowledge the fact that her and Stella do not belong to the Southern elite anymore and that maybe some of Stanley’s raw vitality would be good to mix with the sophisticated upper class. This relates back to William’s final message which acknowledges the decline of the upper class but conveys the idea that some of Stanley’s bourgeois class ideals, mixed with others from Blanche’s upper class is what we should strive for. Unfortunately, with the way society is going, we may not be able to achieve this.
