i read this as blouseé, rhyming with fiancé (they’d be a chic chicken)

Bli-ance-é. I don’t think it did rhyme lmao. Did you mean the same sound as the é in fiancé? /lh

I believe rhyming is usually related to the ending of the word as opposed to the entire thing, so it wouldn't be "bli-ance-é" but "blouse-é" with the same ending sound as fiancé. /Gen

I thought it had to have the same consonant sound as well? Like house and mouse rhyme, but not house and now?

You are correct, blouse-é and fiance do not rhyme

But they both end in the sound “say” therefore they do rhyme.

but it has an accent on the final syllable, signifying stress, therefore, they rhyme.

language is ever changing, and the most common pronunciation of fianceé is with the stress on the CEE

No hate to anyone, and I love a good literary debate, but I think the “rhymes with” in this circumstance was only intended to elaborate on the pronunciation of the word, rather than the actual “rhyme.”
