EUNICE: I think she said you taught school.
BLANCHE: Yes.
...
B:ANCHE: What I meant was that I'd like to be left alone.
Blanche gives short snappy answers in this scene which are quite rude. When analyzing this scene, we can wonder what Williams intentions were. Did he want us to like Blanche when she is portrayed as rude in the first scene? Was she made this way to make her seem more like a real person with real flaws? She tells Stella that she's brought nice clothes to meet her friends in - suggesting she wants to make a good impression - however, she doesn't try here with Eunice. This seems as if Blanche is not aware of the consequences of what she says - not realizing the impression this will make on Eunice.
