A Streetcar Named Desire

After Stella and Stanley leave, a young man comes to the door collecting money for the local newspaper, The Evening Star. What does Blanche do to him? Why might be Blanche’s motivation for acting this way? (don't say that she is a pervert/pedophile).

Blanche flirts with the newspaper boy because she does not like to be alone but she can't seem to be in a relationship after her husband died. Being with the newspaper boy is feeding into her desire for power over men: in this case a boy.
