Blanche realized that Stanley was an impulsive man when she first met him. She sensed that he was about to create difficulties for her if she continues to stay with her sister. He was the kind of man who sought pleasure from every woman. Thus, Stanley attempts to warn Stella about this but she disregards her. However, it makes Stanley go crazy to ruin Blanche's esteem.

Explanation:

As per the question, the given quote implies that Blanche sensed the unruly and fractious character of Stanley at her very first meeting with him('The first time I laid eyes on him I thought to myself, that man is my executioner'). She justifies this through the statement that 'He hates me. Or why else would he insult me?'. She knows that Stanley wishes to ruin her('That man will destroy me') as she tried to reveal his impulsive character to Stella.

What does the author see as the main cause for why students don’t really see shakespeare as a real, flawed human being? we shouldn’t shy away from discussing our literary heroes’ flaws. if nothing else, the knowledge of their failures us appreciate what success and greatness these authors did achieve. often our hero-worship keeps us from truly seeing the complexity of a great author. thus, i would argue, nothing would be better for high school students than to take shakespeare down a peg or two. a) the fact that students never learn enough about shakespeares biography b) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s comedies while in school c) the fact that students are never assigned to read any shakespeare while in high school d) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s greatest works in school and thus never see his weaknesses
