I have been asked by my professor to do a research and ask people that what if you guys were in blanche's shoes and your brother in law knows your dirty secrets and has given you an all expenses paid bus ticket back to a town which you cannot return?

This is difficult to put in any reasonable context that I can relate to. If I were Stella, I'd feel pretty used and abandoned. Today we would hope a woman would have certain rights, even if she was being blackmailed. At the very least she should have other options rather than being manipulated by a man.
