Quotes from Scene 1

BLANCHE [dubiously]: Wonderful, honey. I don't like a bed that gives too much

At this point, Blanche knows that she's complained too much and feigns satisfaction with the bed. Though it is somewhat obviously fake, it shows that Blanche is willing to make some effort to accept the place and tone herself down - though she finds it hard due to her background and due to the stress that is placed on her later. It asks the question: If Stanley had not been present and the only problem had been the change and loss of status, would Blanche has learned to accept change?
