Many of the given circumstances are found later on in the play as they pertain to the major characters. This follows the theme of deception throughout the play and the idea of keeping secrets from other people to hide who you truly are. Blanche does not want people to know who she truly is, so she hides her past and puts on a façade of the exact opposite ideals. Stanley hides his true identity from Stella and does not tell her that he raped Blanche.

Everyone has an ideal that they would like to reach, but it is not clear whether everyone reaches this ideal by the end of the play.
