Why did Blanche come to New Orleans?

Explanation:

Blanche DuBois, the protagonist of Tennessee Williams’ play “A Streetcar Named Desire,” traveled to New Orleans in search of refuge and escape from the chaos and misfortune that surrounded her in her life back in Laurel, Mississippi. Blanche, a former schoolteacher, was forced to leave her job after engaging in a scandalous affair with a young student. This led her on a downward spiral and further into a life of alcoholism and promiscuity. As the play unfolds, it becomes evident that Blanche’s arrival in New Orleans was not just a casual trip but a well-thought-out plan.
