List of some of the basic inconsistencies in Blanche’s character are

1. She always wants to show off so as to be noticed by others;

2. She is a pathological liar;

3. Scene 4 points up Blanche as the definite outsider.

Explanation:

1. Blanche intentionally moves into the light when she is undressing so as to be noticed. This is a manifestation of Blanche's desire to be the center of attention, and her use of her body to attract attention prepares us for some of her later lurid escapades.

2. She lies to Mitch about her reason for visiting Stella and about her age. But as Blanche will later say, these are only little illusions that a woman must create.

3. Scene 4 points up Blanche as the definite outsider. In attempting to get Stella to see Stanley as a common and bestial person, she succeeds only in alienating herself from Stella.
