Stanely is the only character thought the play to purposely mess with Blanches already weak state of mind‚ seen in " There isn’t no millionaire! And Mitch didn’t come back with roses’ cause I know where he is-". This conveys just how insensitive Stanley is to Blanche’s harsh situation‚ without the slightest bit of understanding as to why she might hid herself behind all of these lies.
