How Does Williams want us to feel about Blanche in the opening scene?

At the start of the scene, the Blanche is introduced dressed conspicuously in white, as if she were arriving at a summer tea or cocktail party. Williams is trying to portray a sense of youth, innocence and purity in her clothing, but she is apparently out of place however she is also described as a moth-an unpleasant creature of the dark, so there is obviously more to her than meets the eye. She has an air of great self-importance and she is posh, and therefore slightly out of place. She is employ to grander settings than Elysian Fields Her expression is one of shocked disbelief. She is also unimpressed at the fix of her sisters house.She is also genuinely rude and dismissive towards people of lower status, like her overly-helpful neighbour Eunice. After at first failing to get rid of her with boring, one-word answers, she frankly tells her to go away What I meant was Id like to be left alone, offending Eunice. She feels superior to Eunice, and is not used to having to answer que stions from people she deems to be beneath her.Once alone, Blanche begins to explore her sisters house. Her eye is caught by a bottle of whiskey in a half-opened closet, and we disclose out that she is no novice when it comes to drink adapted. Whereas before she was sitting in a chair very rigidly with her shoulders slightly hunched, now she springs up and crosses to it (the whiskey). She tosses down half a tumbler, before hiding the evidence, thus divine revelation her secretive nature. This theme of her secret drinking habit continues throughout the first scene, as she lies about drinking and even has the temerity to claim that ones her limit.She is also patronising and rude towards Stella. She joyously embraces her sister, talking far excessively much while trying to maintain her disguise turn that light offI wont be looked at in this merciless glare She doesnt want her sister to identify that she is drunk or see through the facade of youthfulness. She then orders her about patronisingly while condemning her home What are you doing in a place like this? After at first putting up with her sisters degrading comments about her house, Stella describes her as intense, which describes her perfectly.Blanche is also very quick to accuse her sister, in a bid to distract attention away from her own short-comings You thought Id been fired? She leaves a lot of things unsaid, such as her tenableness for leaving her job.She also feels the need for approval from her sister, especially appearance-wise. She orders Stella to stand up, before patronisingly referring to her as a little partridge and informing her that shes put on some weight. Her sister puts up with it thought, obligingly telling her Its just incredible, Blanche, how well youre looking.Blanch is very quick to judge, right from the very start she is unimpressed by the local area, the neighbours, her sisters home and even her husbands nationality she ignorantly refers to Polish people as something like t he Irish, arent theyonly not so highbrow? She is keen to impose herself upon the local community, again masking her insatiable need to be liked by others.Eventually she moves on to why she came to be here, aside from taking a leave of absence from the school. She gives some lame excuses, like I want to be near you but betrays her cover with the stage direction Her voice drops and her look is frightened. However she is able to recover herself enough to launch into a hyperbolic defence of herself after losing the family home, even blaming Stella for leaving Youre a fine one to sit there accusing me of it She also exaggerates greatly, claiming I fought for it, bled for it, almost died for it.
