Blanche's Theme Song

I chose Creep by Radio Head for Blanche's theme song because it seemed fitting. She doesn't feel like she belongs and she is very fragile (mentally). Particularly, parts of the chorus remind me of Blanche: "I don't care if it hurts/ I want to have control/I want a perfect body/ I want a perfect soul/ I want you to notice...." She is in the constant pursuit of love, wealth, happiness, and fortune. Plus, I think the tone and "sound" of the song really fit in with the plot and her character with overtones of Stanley in the background.

Creep by Radio Head

When you were here before/ Couldn't look you in the eye/ You're just like an angel/ Your skin makes me cry/ You float like a feather/ In a beautiful world/ I wish I was special/
> You're so ******* special/ But I 'm a creep/ I 'm a weirdo/ What the hell am I doing here?/I don't belong here/ I don't care if it hurts/ I want to have control/ I want a perfect body/ I want a perfect soul/ I want you to notice/ When I'm not around/ You're so ******* special/ I wish I was special/But I'm a creep/ I'm a weirdo/ What the hell am I doing here?/ I don't belong here/ She's running out again/ She's running out/ She run, run, run, run,/ Run /Whatever makes you happy/ Whatever you want/You're so ******* special/ I wish I was special/ But I'm a creep/ I'm a weirdo/ What the hell am I doing here?/ I don't belong here/ I don't belong here

In my personal opinion, I feel like Vivien Leigh did an amazing job of portraying the character of Blanche. I feel like she did more justice for the character and really brought her to life on the stage. I also feel like she nailed the part in the sense of what Tennessee Williams was trying to get across through the character of Blanche. She showed a more fragile and hysterical Blanche who was constantly looking for someone to "stand by her."
