A Beautiful Thing coursework The character of Sandra has many good characteristics. One of these is her generosity. For example

Another of Sandra's good qualities would be the fact that she is very accepting. The main example of this would be when she accepts Jaime when he tells her that he is gay. A quote that shows this would be "I'm not gonna put you out like an empty bottle in the morning". This again is an example of how Sandra is different from some of the other people in the block in contrast Ste is terrified of telling his father for fear of getting killed.

Sandra also has a very good sense of humour at times even in very deep emotional moments she gives the audience some relive. For example when Jaime is angry at her for not telling him sooner about her plans for this pub in Rotherhide she says snap referring to the fact that O.K. now were even now you no how it fells. A quote that show this would be "snap".

Sandra is also portrayed as being a very independent character. For example she is a single mum who despite only earning a pub wage is still independent enough at the end to dump Tony despite the fact that she had been beaten up buy men in the past. And she is still after better job at a pub in Rotherhide. A quote that shows this would be "I went out robin for that boy"

Sandra is also a very proud character. For example she is very house proud the hanging baskets and the painted door also she doesn't wont Leah messing up her hanging baskets that she won. Sandra also gloats a lot about past achievements. A quote that shows this would be "I won that basket in the south east Thames barmaid of the year award"

Sandra is also a very tough character. For example at the end of the play she dumps Tony despite the fact that men have beaten her up before she still has the courage just to dump him regardless of what he might do. A quote that show that Sandra is a tough character would be "put that down the chute for us would ya?"

Sandra is also a understanding and compassionate character. For example after Ste has been beaten up by his brother she lets him stay round at there flat at no notice. A quote that shows this would be "you'll have to top and tail with Jaime"

Sandra is also a fearless character. For example she goes over to Ronnie's who is a very violent person and beats up Ste on a regular basis and shouts at him through the letter box. A quote that shows this would be "your little Stevens round at our place tonight I've every mind to report you"

Sandra is shown as a very asporatiional character. For example she has body shop products and hanging baskets things that are just out of place on the estate more middle class things a quote that shows this characteristic would be "show me another women on this estate who can say that she goes with an artist"

However Sandra's character has two side she also displays a number of negative characteristics. Such as her regular insults directed at Leah. A quote that shows this would be her very first line in the play "slag" this comes across as a very aggressive unprovoked verbal attack on Leah. I believe that this is largely a way of trying to get Leah to try harder and to do better and not to end up like herself.

Sandra's character is also brassy. For example she shows a very aggressive attitude towards Leah and at time Jaime this attitude is often unprovoked. A quote that shows this would be "face facts Leah no bugger wants you".

The character of Sandra is also argumentative. For example she regularly has long and often aggressive arguments with Jaime. A quote that shows this would be "you spotty little wimp"

Sandra is a offensive character this is one of her characteristics that she uses very frequently. for example she is very rude to Tony, Jaime, Ste and Leah all quite regularly especially with Leah. A quote that shows this would be "your fucking weird".

Sandra is also a aggressive character. For example she and Jaime often fight physically. A quote that shows this would be a stage direction "she lays into him fist flying". However we often see after these physical confrontations that Sandra is often very upset and remorseful.

Sandra's character is a rude and tactless one. For example she is very tactless with Ste with her remarks about the boxing. A quote that shows this would be "can't get enough of it".

Sandra is also a hypocritical character. For example before going to work she tells Jaime that he had better do his homework and that she'll check it when she gets back but when she gets back she can't be bothered. A quote that shows this would be "Ooh sod that I'm knackered".

The character of Sandra is also very rude and tactless. For example with Ste and the references to the boxing and the fact that his father beats him. A quote that shows this would "Can't get enough of it".

Sandra is also a very pushy character she goes on about things endlessly. The main examples would be when she is going on at Jaime about the salad and the sports lesson. A quote that shows this would be "There a salad in the fridge for dinner".
