a) Imagine that while Stella is in hospital after having the baby, she writes an entry in her diary about how she feels about returning home to Stanley and Blanche. Write this diary entry in which Stella expresses her hopes and fears for the future. 


Dear diary,


I am so overwhelmed at the idea of having a baby. I always wanted there to be a third member to my perfect little family. Yes there are complications, such as Stanley and his violent outbreaks but what can i say i love him dearly. He means the world to me, im HIS baby. I think this baby is going to do us good. It will help calm Stan and hopefully  minimise his drinking; i wouldnt want him to be in that terrorising state near my baby, my life. Oh how much i miss him, i wish he was near me... oh and Blanche my beloved sister how could i have forgotten. I miss her so much, it feels comforting to know that a family member is beside me. Someone i can talk to and relate to. She's been through so much bless her i just hope she's getting on well at home with Stanley. I hope everything goes to plan with her, she really and truly seems to be in love with Mitch. He is a wonderful person and a gentleman just as Blanche likes them. He seems to be the only one who can make her forget about the going ons of the past but look forwards to her future.

  1. WWW well done for trying to engage with a number of the areas of concern for Stella.

    ebi think about both her character and her relationships at this point in the play, is it right that she is this warm about Stanley and Blanche - what has just happened, what has she begun to learn about her sister, what dilemmas might she be experiencing.
