The depicted idea of the eminent and radiating title induces and consumes the audience with evocative and tense ideas for sexual innuendoes, capitalising the prerequisite performance for the play to involve dramatic sexual tensions. However, in contrast to the title, the melancholy and hoary surroundings of the old corner building emanates an 'atmosphere of decay', betrayal, self-embrace, ugliness and death. This contrast creates a poignant conflict between the ideal standards that the audience prepare themselves to see.

Whilst the synchronization between ethnic groups and the humbling sounds of the "blue piano" which meander across the town, they act as a facade when a less than animated 'antique porcelain' figure arrives, anaesthetizing the "cosmopolitan" peoples perceptions and masquerading the disastrous fragility of the character, who secretes a blinding pseudo sense of self-awareness, satisfaction and harmonious characterisation. Here we meet the "moth", an incarnation of a once heavenly, cherished, inspirited woman, who now fears the intense illumination of truth. The sheer oddity of recognising an appearance incongruous to the setting and the tension that the delicate woman endure

On meeting Stella, depicted as the personification of survival, there is clearly a contrast between Blanche's escapism and acts of frantic behaviour with the quiet, profound and intense realisation of Stella. Already carrying a new life ultimately shows that someone's demise is apparent. It also shows the ability to mould and shape some-one's future, but shows the inevitable consequence that the past will materialize into a weakened state of mind and the ruin of a body, shown as a "Southern Belle" that has tainted the perception of the audience and generates a feeling of disillusionment, mistrust and an inaugural tense separation between the audience and Blanche.

Again, the sound of a police whistle tells the audience that what is happening isn't meant to be so, yet they know due to the tensions that have arisen; no-one is able to stop the "inhuman jungle voices" the animalistic, hot, desirable and dictatorial music that incites the dramatic tension of the audience's realisation that Stanley has carried Blanche to her ultimate sexual demise.

The unmodified language that Blanche uses to portray her disbelief of the town's heterogeneous influences and the reproachful bitter-sweet attitude that she has over the nature of Stanley's job, indicate to the audience that dramatic tension will mount because Blanche is ultimately filled with aristocratic arrogance.

In this scene, Blanche fills herself with self-compassion and cries of "Ah me". The Negro woman outside, reflects Blanche's sexual propensity, as she confronts a young man. When the same young man appears through the portieres there is a dramatic and sexual tension that is aroused as the audience can see that Blanche is full of interest. Whilst being flirtatious, the audience encounters more lies that Blanche threads through her web of deceit, and dramatic tensions mount not only because the lies inflict exasperation and inquisitiveness, but music encourages the sexual tension and Blanche openly admits after kissing the young man that she has been with many "children" before, leaving the audience, full of tension questioning her "dreamy" aspect of true love. She says she is looking for "love", but she is really looking for someone she can merely hide with, a manifestation of safety that she can use to escape the drudgery of her anguished life.

In scene four, the early morning "confusion of street cries" reflects and increases the ebbing dramatic tension that the audience had felt earlier, but it contrasts with the narcotic serenity that is; a new day.

The lantern surrounding the light in this scene evokes a discard for the profound and impassioned hurtful truth of maturity. The audience sees that Blanche acquires to be in pristine condition, forever washing to rid the body of ominous memories and the guilt that suffocates the 'pores' of predictability, love and rationality. Not only does this inclination that accumulates Blanche's existence provoke dramatic tensions, but the fact that Stanley is agitated by this as well, also provokes a strong dramatic tension between the audience and the two cautious characters.
