The man at the end of scene 5 is a new kind of masculinity.
All senses are explored in this scene
Simple scene
'temporary magic' key phrase in this scene.
Astrology, Blanche is a Virgo 'suggestion to virginity'.
'flamingo' in the south means 'whore' and 'this man named shaw' says he met her in the Hotel Flamingo.
The audience remain beside Blanche.
'I have seen it and smelled it' the use of the senses is powerful because it makes it all more real and revealing. The way she is in denial, stresses the information she doesn't want to reveal.
'I never was hard or self sufficient enough' this line shows how her layers if secrecy are being broken down by Stanley.
'make a little- temporary magic just in order to pay for - one night's shelter!' mentions that she took money, suggests she had been a prostitute of some sort, in order to survive.
'caught in the storm' Blanche is caught in the centre and she realises she has to find some sort of refuge or shelter.
Pure tragedy, a character from a high social position, normlay a man, falls becasue of their fatal flaw.
Catharsis, the release of the emotions of fear and pity, Arastotle's theory.
