... YR 11: Twentieth Century Drama GCSE Coursework How does Bennett create sympathy for Doris in "A cream cracker under the settee"? Bennett creates lots of sympathy for Doris by talking about her past quite a lot. This makes the audience feel very sorry for Doris by talking about her still born child. "The Midwife said he wasn't fit to be called anything and asked if we had any newspaper?" This builds up more sympathy for her because of the way that people treated her dead son like it was nothing. Bennett uses her emotion to bring in sympathy aswell. Bennett also creates sympathy for Doris by talking about the way she's been treated by other people in the play. For instance Zulema treats her like a child when she's cleaning Doris' house E.G "Doris do not attempt to dust. The dusting is my Department. That's what the council pays me for.
