Her future is mapped out for her.
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 7. Stanley adopts a patriarchal tone, as he tells Stella that Blanche’s fate has been decided for her. He has bought her a bus ticket to leave on Tuesday, he reveals. There is also something ominous in what Stanley says. Considering his premeditated rape of Blanche a little later, that may also be what’s in his mind here. So his words could be said to foreshadow this.
