How Is Blanche Dubois A Dynamic

Blanche Dubois is a dynamic character that at first, is very difficult to figure out. She hides behind confusing stories and lies to protect herself from her traumatic past.

She has many odd actions however I believe that these action, particularly her interactions with the newspaper boy and her fear of the light have a deeper meaning. At the end of the play she is unable to deal with the mess she has made and as a result her subconscious takes over.

But her institutionalization and lies don’t make her a bad person. One needs to look at the motive behind her lies and actions to disover the truth.
