He came to see me tonight. He dared to come here in his work-clothes! And to repeat slander to me, vicious stories that he had gotten from you! I gave him his walking papers… But then he came back. He returned with a box of roses to beg my forgiveness! He implored my forgiveness. But some things are not forgivable.
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 10. Blanche blatantly lies to Stanley about Mitch coming to her with roses and begging her to forgive him, when nothing of the sort happened. She claims that Mitch was full of remorse for repeating Stanley’s "slander" about her past life. Blanche continues with her fantasy that she sent Mitch packing, when the reality is that Mitch broke up with her.
