Explain the events that lead up to Blanche's husband's suicide.
Blanche was unable to fill a need for her young husband, and shortly after the wedding she caught him with an older male friend. While dancing the same evening at a casino, she confronted him about what she'd seen, and he ran out of the hall and shot himself in the mouth.
