Firstly, Blanche had lying been Stella. When Blanche first arrived Stella’s house, she told Stella, “I was so exhausted by all I’d been through my – nerves broke. I was on the verge of – lunacy, almost! So Mr. Graves – Mr. Graves is the high school superintendent – her suggested I take a leave of absence” (Williams 1170). But the truth of Blanche’s unemployment is “she did resign temporarily from the high school because of her nerves! They kicked her out of that high school before the spring term ended because she’d gotten mixed up with seventeen-year-old boy” (Williams 1214). Secondly, Blanche told Stella there was a man named Shep Huntleigh who has oil wells all over Texas, and this man loved her (Williams 1195). However, Shep Huntleigh was just a fake figure. The truth was in Flamingo. “She couldn’t put on her act anymore in Laure! They got wised up after two or three dates, with her and then they quit, and she goes on to another” (Williams 1214). Finally, Stanley raped Blanche in the night when the child of Stella and Stanley was born. This is last thing to crush Stella, she could not believe Blanche and Stanley anymore. She wanted that it all just an illusion.
