How does Alan Bennet interest his Audience and make us feel sympathy for Doris in the play “A Cream Cracker under the Settee”?
Alan Bennet the write behind the monologue a cream cracker under the settee is infamously know for letting the voices of isolated and overlooked people in the society heard. A cream cracker under the settee is a monologue about “Doris” who finds it hard to cope with the modern society around her. She is used to voice the opinion of the elderly people. In the play Bennet creates sympathy for her ( something common in monologues) people shouldn’t be judged by their first impression because Doris comes across as fierce at first but it is due to what has happened to her in her life.
