Why does she break the mirror?
Blanche breaks the mirror because she doesn't want to look in the mirror and see her ageing face. She want to keep up the illusion that she is young and is wanted by everyone. Her happiest point in life was when she was 16 and with Allan. Now when she looks int the mirror, all she can see is her failure, she wasted her life
What are his motives for raping her?
Stanley raped her because he wanted to undermine her, he wanted her to feel weak. He did it to prove that he is a man. It is almost like he is doing exactly as Blanche described him as when she said 'Maybe he'll strike you or maybe grunt and kiss you, That is if kisses have been discovered yet' This is like foreshadowing of Stanley raping her
