Song Choice

The song I chose is "Fluorescent Adolescent" by Arctic Monkeys. I chose this song for Blanche because it describes her sexual history. The lyrics talk about a "whorish" character who chose men much like Blanche did. A few lines in particular describe Blanche pretty well: 

"You used to get it in your fishnets

Now you only get it in your night dress

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though"

These lyrics relate to Blanche in that she was at least partly, a sexually driven character, not unlike many people though. She had a very confused and messed up life, but tried to make it better. Although she used to be wealthy, she no longer does and however hard she tries, she is stuck living in her newly found existence. This are just a few lines from the song, however the rest of the lyrics describe her pretty well too.
