Honey lamb! Come here. I want to kiss you, just once, softly and sweetly on your mouth!
Without waiting for him to accept, she crosses quickly to him and presses her lips to his.]
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 5. Blanche steps into the role of sexual predator as she places an uninvited kiss on the mouth of a young male stranger. Alcohol is not Blanche’s only addiction, she is also addicted to young men. Her calling him "honey lamb" suggests the innocence of the boy and is another example of the animal imagery used throughout the play.
