CHARACTERRRR: Stan

So this Stanley guy is pretty weird. He's really weird because he changed a lot. Stanley seemed like a simple flirtatious guy. He seemed to come onto Blanche a little bit when he first saw her, but other that, I thought he was pretty cool, and down to clown. Sure, Stanley seems sort of merciless, vicious, and intimidating, but I feel like he honestly does care for Stella and was very nice to her. He respected her in the first scene and was nice to her. They used terms of indeerment like honey, baby, and sweety with each other, making it seem like they were extremely close to each other and had a great relationship. Later in the play, we see that Stanley is a violent, degrading, and drunk brute who does not respect his wife, Stella.
Stanley first starts to show his true side when he starts to freak out about how Blanche has all of this nice stuff. He goes through all of Blanche's stuff and starts to wonder where she got it all. Then when he is drunk he starts to freak out about the music saying that it's too loud. He then eventually throws the radio out the window and proceeded to beat Stella. He is quite an angry person and yells a lot. He curses at Stella and Blanche and accuses Blanche of selling the estate for her personal gain.
