Translated version
"You're not clean enough to bring in the house with my mother."
Who says it: Mitch (Scene IX). Meaning: Mitch utters these words when he learns the truth about Blanche's past. This reveals the double standards of society at that time: a woman's value is measured by her "cleanliness" and chastity. Mitch, although more sensitive, is still a representative of this cruel morality.
Original version
„Tu nesi pakankamai švari, kad parsivesčiau tave į namus pas savo motiną.“
Kas sako: Mičas (IX scena). Reikšmė: Mičas ištaria šiuos žodžius, kai sužino tiesą apie Blanšos praeitį. Tai atskleidžia to meto visuomenės dvigubus standartus: moters vertė matuojama jos „švarumu“ ir skaistybe. Mičas, nors ir jautresnis, vis tiek yra šios žiaurios moralės atstovas.
