Why do we hear the Varsouvia? What does it mean?
Varsouviana is the song that was playing when Blanche's young husband killed himself. For Blanche, this song serves as a trigger. It carries her guilt and evokes a disconnection with reality. When the music played she was happy.... when it ended with the shot of a gun..... her world became dark.
