This shows us how prone to exaggeration and hyperbole Blanche is but also tells us how disgusted Blanche is. She feels so strongly because of the background that the girls come from such a high class background. Blanche also repeats the word 'never' three times for dramatic effect. Never is a negative word and therefore represents Blanche's negative feelings towards the area that she's in and tells an audience how strong those feelings are.
STELLA:
No, honey, those are the L & N tracks.
BLANCHE:
No, now seriously, putting joking aside. Why didn't you tell me, why didn't you write me, honey,
why didn't you let me know?
No is the first word in both of these lines. The three together go 'Never, no, no.' This is very negative. The atmosphere previous to this was positive and showed two sisters seeing each other again however it dies down very quickly due to Blanche's insults at Stella's home.
