Although the action is confined to the Kowalski apartment, you should be able to comment on how the stage set varies.

‘The portières are open and a table is set for a   supper, with   and flowers’ (Scene Seven, p. 69).

Ask yourself: What does this set lead the audience to expect?

Possible answer: Stella’s careful, loving preparation for Blanche’s birthday party suggests a happy, festive occasion. However, the audience may well fear that this will be spoilt by Stanley.
