Blanche moves back into the streak of light. She raises her arms and stretches, as she moves indolently back to the chair

[Blanche moves back into the streak of light. She raises her arms and stretches, as she moves indolently back to the chair.]

– Tennessee Williams

A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 3. Blanche uses woman’s sex appeal to try to get the attention of Mitch, who is playing cards with the men in the Kowalski kitchen. She moves into the light so that the outline of her body can be seen through the dividing curtain.
