in the end of the play they call the doctor on Blanche because stella finally sees that she is losing her mind. when stella calls the doctor she thinks that she is doing the right thing but when they are hauling Blanche out the door stella thinks that she has done the wrong thing. i think that she did the right thing, i think that if Blanche stayed with them the situation would have gotten a lot worse. i think that she would have made stanley so made that he would have done it again, or possibly something even worse. i think stella did the right thing by giving Blanche over to the doctors because it is not only just to make Stella's life easier, but it is for Blanche's own good too.

in these last scenes stanley reveals some very intimate details about Blanche. he has two friends that know her, they tell him the real truth about her. they tell him how she stays at the flamingo and about how she isn't as proper as she makes herself sound. stanley makes a big deal out of this, only because Blanche made a huge deal out of stanley being common. when she first met him she was talking to stella about how he isn't suitable for her and how he is an animal. stanley tells mitch because they are friends and he feels like he is looking out for him. i dont think stanley did this just to upset blanche. he did it as a favor to mitch because he was a loyal friend.

Blanche disapproves of stanley because she thinks he is "common" she thinks that he is an animal. she doesn't like the fact that he gets drunk and gets angry/aggressive. she thinks stella is in this relationship for all of the wrong reasons and that it wont last. she resents stanley because she thinks that he will inevitably hurt stella. she also disapproves of him because he is starting to reveal what she actually is. he is chipping away at her facade of this high class southern woman.
2-3
in scene 2-3 we see more of Stanley's aggression. in scene 1 he isn't very aggressive it is hinted at that he may have aggressive tendencies but they are not shown. in scene 2-3 he gets mad at the women because they have the radio on and he throws it out the window. we also see how atracted stella is so him, and his animalistic characteristics. Blanche wants to save her and take her away, but stella is too attracted to Stanley.

Willy/Norma
they are both living in the past they are living in made up worlds that their dreams have created. they are afraid of submitting to the more modern way of life. because of this they are stuck living in the past, their memories rule them. and because their memories rule them they need some one to take care of their life in the now. they need someone to look after them because if their dream lives fall apart then its like their world is falling apart. they are both mentally unstable, not only because of the alternate reality, but because they are capable of doing them selves terrible harm with out knowing the real reason, because the reason lies with in the gap between their alternate and true realities.

i think that willy made the wrong choice refusing charlie's help. i think the is just way too proud to take it. and he is too jealous of charlie, he always has been. because of his flashbacks and because he lies about the past he thinks he used to be a much better salesman than he actually was and because of this he cant bring himself to takes charlies help. one of willy's flaws is that he is too proud to accept help or to take advice, or to even listen to someone elses interpretation of somthing. i think willy needs to wake up and see reality, he needs to accept the fact thathe isnt the best, he isnt all that well liked, and he needs help.

ben offers willy a job in alaska in diamonds. he isnt the best influence on willy, but he does offer him and he needs a good job. ben is kind of a bad influence on willy because he wants him to go to alaska away from the house that his family grew up together in. linda doesnt like ben because she thinks willy can make it fine in there, and he doenst need to go to alaska to make money.

i think that biff and happy's plan will work. they want to open a sporting goods store, i think it will work because they have a good plan. their father gives them all kinds of advice on how to go about starting it and how to dress and how to talk to people. they get this idea because linda tells them that the fact that nether of them have stable lives is killing willy. i think the boys will be successful because their fathers life is on the line, it was soothing like this that they needed to force them to work, because they didnt really want to so they needed something to force them to try and get a successful job.
