Question

I just watched A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE ON CABLE.  I loved the movie, but have a question.

At the end of the movie, does Stella end up believing that Stanley raped Blanche?

Does Stella then say that she can't live with Stanley due to him raping Blanche?

Thanks for your help.

Bob.

Hey Bob,
I think part of Stella knows that Blanche was telling the truth about the rape but as she says she can't live with Stanley if she believed Blanche so now she she gets to live with delusions so she can go on living with Stanley. Lisa.
