Why does Blanche break the mirror?
Blanche breaks the mirror because she is not happy with her life she hates her life and now that the truth is out she wants to run away from everything. She knows and is reminded by everyone that she is not young anymore and that she has to come out of her imaginary world and face the real world now.

Dramatic effects in the end of scenes.
Scene 1
I think that in this scene we are shown many dramatic effects. At first we can see the difference in backgrounds and shock as Blanche arrives in Elysian Fields and is shocked to think that her sister lives here. As she discovers more she is disgusted by Stella's lifestyle and how much she has changed. This could tell us that before Stella and Blanche lived very grand lives in good conditions.
Another dramatic effect is the love and affection shown when the two sisters meet. they are overwhelmed to see each other and cannot stop hugging and kissing each other. Blanche uses various nicknames and praises Stella a lot and Stella is just so overwhelmed to see Blanche here.
We also see violence and man power as stanley in the beggining of the scene throws meat at Stella and orders her to cook it while he is going bowling. This shows opression in the scene and the status of both men and women.
Scene 2
In this scene there is drama between Blance and Stanley. Stanley has his poker night with friends and he keeps it at home. The main themes and dramatic effects are Suspicion/ Tension. Blanche wears expensive clothes and jewelllery and she also has a trunk full of these clothes and expensive things, this gets Stanley frustrated and he starts looking in her trunk and questioning Blanche where she gets the money for all this, he starts to think that something is wrong and suspects Blanche.
Scene 3
Scene 3 is about insecurity and love and violence. Stanley's poker night i carrying on. whilst this Blanche is very worried about her appearance ans keeps complaining showing insecurity, she meets mitch for the first time and they are both attracted to each other showing love and whilst the party blanche plays the radio and Stanley doesnt like this, he asks her to stop, she doesnt listen and he gets up and throws the radio out the window.
Scene 4
this scene represents sexuality and love. Stanley and Stella are fine and back to normal the next day after the fight, and Blanche is upset about this. Stella has slept with Stanley after his violence, also Blanche is worried for Stella and she tries to get her out of stanley's house by trying to make arrangements and calling up people.

Blanche's Diary Entry
Dear Diary,
Time: 8.00
Today, for the first time I spoke about it. It being the taboo subject I never talk about. It being the subject that has ruined my life, my looks, my peace. It being Allan.
I told Mitch, I told him everything. I couldnt lie to him anymore because I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Its a new beggining and new begginings have fresh starts. I didnt want to start my new life with lies and all that hate and disgust within me, but I told mitch and I now feel like a newborn baby. Ahh I am at peace now :) Now i have a future wedding to plan for ill be back later. toodles.
Time: 8.03
I've not told Mitch everything, I cant be a newborn baby he doesnt know about the flamingo and and ...and everything else. Shall I tell him? will he still love me? will he still marry me?
Dearest diary tell me, oh tell me what to do I dont understand. I'll decide after my bath, YES! thats what i'll do, long hot baths always help me think.
