[Blanche comes out of the bathroom in a red satin robe.]
Hello, Stanley! Here I am, all freshly bathed and scented, and feeling like a brand new human being!
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 2. Blanche takes frequent baths as a means of rejuvenating herself and cleansing herself of past sins. Her stepping out of the bath in a provocative red satin robe as she flaunts her scented femininity before Stanley is suggestive of sexuality.
