In my opinion Stella is the middle man between Blanche and Stanley. The woman who always keeps her calm, while Stanley and Blanche try to win over her affection. Personally I believe that she is so weak that she sways back and forth with the wind. Although I believe that deep down she knows that her sister is troubled, she has no nerve to say anything because she cares too much about Blanche's feelings. Stanley, although extremely inappropriate and immature is also her voice of reason in a way. Stella is too forgiving, too sweet, and too caring. Although these are good traits they can only take someone so far in life. If Stella stood up for herself sometimes I feel that her life would be so much easier.
Stella: He smashed all the light bulbs with the heel of my slipper.
Stella: Actually, I was sorta thrilled by it.
Was Blanche really thrilled by it? Or was she actually scared by it and went with it because she wanted to make sure that Stanley was happy. Sometimes when you want to be with someone so badly you try to change yourself and act like someone that you truly aren't. As I mentioned before Stella is someone that blows with the wind, letting the wind guide her to where it wants to take her.
