How significant and symbolic is the appearance of the Mexican woman selling flowers for the dead in Scene Nine?
In Scene Nine, the significance and symbolism of the Mexican woman selling flowers for the dead just validates Blanche's decaying and dying physical and mental self. The woman confronting Blanche with the flowers for the dead is sealing Blanche's fate. She isn't going to make it any further in New Orleans; the dynamic of the town, the hustle and bustle, vulgar words, and blue-collar class, are completely out of what Blanche is accustomed to. She is too delicate and fragile to sustain life in a town like New Orleans with the background of Belle Reve ingrained into her.
