I think theres a specific phase in a boys childhood where he competes with his father for the mother's attention, obvioiusly unconciously. So since Eben's mother is dead he competes for the attention of all the mother like figures in his life, Abbie and Minnie... well, thats what i think haha. =] Your blog is really impressive ahah nice use of diagrams and I love the line about Abbie rejuvenating their love. I don't know how to get rid of the comment moderation thing. =/ So answering your question about the Freudian thing..

I especially loved this play because once you got to know the characters you weren't done. Every character in this play had many sides that were yet reveled. P.S. - Love the pic of Laura.

Not that it's a bad thing (your post is very in depth) but I must say that when I read your intro about the examples of experience in the play, I really thought you would bring up Tom's movie tirade, but you didn't, so I'll talk about it here because it's something I thought goes well with your point. Tom exploded about how Hollywood was for only the actors to experience really living and for the common people to only sit and watch them live it in the movies. I just liked that idea that society in general allows themselves to use the media to only hear about and see other people really experiencing life while they just let it pass by. But maybe that's just me. So first I want to say that I’m a fan of two unrelated things.

That “kindness of strangers” is symbolized as the sexual encounters of Blanche with strangers" is an awesome point. I never made that connection until I read your blog, so hooray for your blog! =) you did a really great job on it, though, with a lot of quotes to reinforce all your opinions “Thus, when Blanche finally loses all elements of herself, she still realizes that she has “always depended on the kindness of strangers” (Williams 418).

I do agree with you that once Mitch left her, it all went down hill from there. This is in part Stanley's fault for finding these thiings out about her and telling Mitch hoping to sever all of Blanche's ties to Elysian Fields and hopefully forcing her to leave, but that's my opinion.

Her continuous attempts to re-live the past and to right her “wrongs” are, in reality, what most human beings do." If her husband had not killed himself do u think that she still could have acted this way throughout the play just from the experience itself if it had gone horribly wrong in a different way? “Blanche tries to overcome the losses in her life by having sexual encounters with young men.

These people really were "walking corpses", and they have no spiritual substance. Elliot seems to write poems with crazy underlying meanings so that dissection is a terrible process. Anyway, good job Meme. I like the connections you made, and your analysis really helped me understand “The Hollow Men” better.
