Are these grapes washed?… Washed, I said. Are they washed?… That doesn’t mean they’ve been washed.
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 11. Blanche fingers a bunch of grapes brought in by Eunice and worries about whether they have been washed. This goes to the motif of bathing and Blanche’s obsession with washing herself as a means of seeking purity by cleansing herself of sin and past memories.
