When Blanche was unable to provide it, he completely destroyed her fantasies, telling her how she was the worthless Queen of the Nile sitting on her throne, and "swilling down his liquor"(128).

Blanche made a mistake by trying to act like a lady, or trying to be what she thought a lady ought to be. Stanley, being a primitive as he was, would have liked her better if she was honest with him about drinking his liquor. Stanley did catch her eyes at first, but being brutally raped by him at the end destroyed her. He knew her and made her face reality, but in a way he exposed her to the bright luminous light she could not stand all her life....
