KEY QUOTATIONS AND THEIR INTERPRETATIONS ' There is something about her uncertain manner... that suggests a moth ' ~ Stage Directions (on Blanche), Scene 1 ~ Hints at Blanche's fragility, and perhaps her preference for night-time. It is thought that Blanche was based off of Tennessee Williams' dear sister Rose who suffered with mental instability and was confined to a mental asylum for the majority of her life. An earlier version of the play was entitled 'The Moth'!

I chose to write it this way as it allows me to learn relevant context, critics and content as I went along, as well as getting used to timed conditions for the actual essay writing. Key: * these are the notes my teacher made so will not mark every aspect of every AO within the essay, only those with most prominence and relevance! CORRECTIONS AO1 AO2 AO3 AO5 Love can thematically expand from romantic to familial to friendship however its purpose in Shakespeare's plays is usually to highlight human error and societal constraints .
