Blanche - Rescue Me by Pushmonkey

I chose Blanche's theme song to be Rescue Me by Pushmonkey. Blanche throughout the book is looking for someone to rescue her. She is suffering from all the wrong choices she has made and is still making. All of her lies have caused her to get into trouble. You can almost say that Mitch is the one that she wants to save her.


Rescue Me - Pushmonkey

Hey..can you save me in any way?
Even though I hate to say
I'm not understanding me

Chorus:
I need someone to rescue me.
When I get a little bit crazy,
I need to you to save me from myself.
I'm waiting for someone to rescue me.
When I go a little too far,
I just want to be sure that you're the only one to save me from myself

No words control
You're not

Chorus

When I get a little bit crazy
When I go a little bit too far
I come to you

Hey can you see the warning signs?
Can you help me recognize
where it's me

chorus

save me from myself
save me from myself
save me from myself

The right Blanche for hysteria.

The second film definitely does a better job of representing Blanche. Jessica Lange never really showed the hysterical side of Blanche. In the 1951 version when Vivien Leigh opens the door Blanches hysteria reaches a climax. From there on out Blanche really doesn't know what and her hysteria gives Stanley the idea of raping her. In the 1951 version Blanche shows hysteria but when Stanley starts to come on to her at the end she has the strength to fight back. In the 1995 version I don't think Blanche really connects with type of hysteria Tennessee Williams is talking about.
