Stanley was born under the sign of Capricorn (the Goat). Blanche was born under Virgo (the Virgin). The discussion of their astrological signs appropriately addresses the difference between them.... the goat often seen as a symbol of the devil, and Blanches attempts to appear virginal all come together when Stanley brings up Blanche's inappropriate relationship with a student.
