BLANCHE: You hear me? I said stand up!
This is very demanding and Stella only complies reluctantly. This shows Blanche as controlling and Stella as submissive and weak.
BLANCHE: You messy child... you've spilled something ... you ought to have it (her hair) cut."
Blanche acts almost motherly to Stella but still vet controlling. This hints that Blanche has been trying to take control of her life. We know that she struggled with trying to be in control of Belle Reve but she hasn't been able to. She can only get Stella to do what she wants because Stella is a very weak-willed person, especially at the start of the novel.
