Blanche Dubois Monologue Analysis

Hello, Mr. Shep Huntleigh this is Blanche Dubois, I just wanted to write you to let you know how I have spent this amazing summer traveling all over the states. First of all, I had to get out of my large estate out in Mississippi; the maids and workmen almost drove me crazy. So I figured that a young and pure women like myself should get out and explore. I went down to New Orleans to pick up my sister, who was pregnant at the time, because she desired to get some fresh air, and see this beautiful world with me, so we went to my boat that I keep there. You should see my boat! A man with your wealth would love to be on my beauty-it is pearly white, lined with imported gold from africa. Little children were the ones who handled the gold lining because, as you know, a girl from wealth like me cannot bear to rest my eyes upon it if it has smudges. We decided to take the boat up to the big city in New York, and do what I do best: spending money. A girl like me just cannot seem to keep it longer than a couple days. You should have seen it when we arrived! All the people’s eyes were lying upon us,-hundreds and hundreds of people-but I enjoyed the attention all the same. So me and Stella went from store throwing money
around like never before. Stella always says that I can never keep money in my pocket. There was one store, in particular, that I loved. It had a bright, colorful neon light outside, and inside the walls were covered in exotic fur coats. The hooks were made out of white gold, with diamonds engraved in them. I loved them so much I tried to buy some for my washrooms to hang the towels on. After we shopped for a couple days, and then we headed back to New Orleans to Stella's loft in the penthouse of the highest building in the city. Once we returned, my nerves were shot when we got back from the rough boat ride, so I took a nice, hot bath. Hot baths always calms my nerves. When I stepped out, Stella mentioned to me that there was a new luxury bath store, and there was one bath in particular that, once it got hot, it never changed temperature. So, me and Stella took a trip to the store, and when I walked in, there were bathtubs everywhere. There were white ones, black ones, and even rainbow-colored ones. They were all mounted on the walls, so you could see every one when you walked in. I fell in love because I enjoy taking hot baths-especially to calm my nerves! I ended up spending more money than any one has probably ever spent on a bathtub, but it was worth it all the same. During my last night in New Orleans, I went to the country club to watch a play with some of my wealthy friends, and I was introduced to the owner of the Coca-Cola Company.
After we visited a while, he offered to give me a private tour of the factory where they make the soda drink. The next day, I went on the tour with him, and it was amazing. I absolutely loved it because Coke is my favorite drink. The factory was well designed; it had assembly lines, conveyors belts, and holding tanks full of Coke ready to be sold to Coke lovers like myself. My favorite part of all was when he made the workers all be clean-shaven, no art markings, and all clean backgrounds. That is probably why he is so successful like us, because he has employment on the right
track.
Well, I hope I did not take too much of your time, because I know you are a busy man! I just wanted to say hello, and see how you are doing.
