Charlotte and Blanche Dubois
Two scenes in Charlotte remind me of two scenes in Streetcar Named Desire. The first is the dinner with Charlotte, Drew and Miriam (when Charlotte calls Miriam a vile, sorry little bitch). When Miriam mentions how John had been savagely butchered, Charlotte suddenly becomes melancholy. The way Charlotte reacts is reminiscent to the way Blanche tries to relive her glorious past. This happens when she is alone in the apartment of the Kowalskis, just before a young man knocks on the door. The dresses they wear look also similar.
The second is when Charlotte frantically brings out the hate letters she had received from Jewel. The hairdo and robe Charlotte is wearing is similar to what Blanche wears when she screams at Stanley and starts shutting every window in the apartment.
Just wondering if the similarities were intentional or coincidental.
