Labeling a person’s rectitude as best or worst is a complex process, simply because people are not…well…simple. I guess you could say possessing feelings of hatred towards Blanche was justified in the initial scenes of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Although, as the story went on, feelings of sympathy and understanding more closely resembled my attitude toward Blanche.
