In the final chapters of the play, a very terrible thing happened to Blanche. She was raped by Stanley one night while Stella was in the hospital preparing to have a baby. When Blanche confronted Stella about the situation, Stella did not believe her. Instead, Stella decided to send Blanche to a mental hospital and continue to live her life with Stanley.
Ever since Blanche first came to live with Stella and Stanley, she completely ruined their relationship. Stella and Stanley were very close before Blanche came, but as time grew on, Blanche caused the two to drift apart. Blanche would constantly get in weird moods and drift in and out of reality. With Stella constantly trying to help her sister, she did not have as much time for Stanley. Stanley would become increasingly paranoid and frustrated with Blanche.
Stella was right to send Blanche to a mental hospital. Blanche was obviously very emotionally unstable and needed some professional help. Stella and Stanley need some time alone to rekindle their relationship, especially with a new baby.

I would def agree, Stella made a smart choice by sending Blanche to the mental hospital. She obviously needed lots of help that Stanley and Stella could not have supplied. They also did need to focus on the baby, not all of the drama attached to Blanche!
Good job!
