Blanche is compared to a moth. This metaphor has the effect of showing how dangerous the things that attract Blanche are. In the same text, the two noun phrases that suggest an unstable emotional state are “shocked disbelief” and “uncertain manner.”

What is a metaphor?

  • It's a figure of speech.
  • It is an implicit comparison.

The metaphor is used to compare Blanche to a moth, as moths, when attracted to light, are killed by the same light. This shows how Blanche likes dangerous things that can kill her.

Noun phrases are sentences that do not have verbs but are meaningful. As an example of this sentence, we have "shocked disbelief" and "uncertain manner" which are sentences that show an inconstant mental quality.
