Stella, oh, Stella, Stella! Stella for Star!
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 1. When Blanche is first reunited with her sister Stella she joyfully embraces her and cries out her name over and over. By referring to her sister as "Stella for star," Blanche indicates that she prefers to live in the fantasy world she builds around herself rather than deal with reality. Stella is the Latin word for star.
