Cassandra and Sandra are twins (Hold up isn’t Sandra short for Cassandra? I digress…) Cassandra hates Sandra because she “digusts” her. Sandra had an accident in the past which we learn causes her to sometimes behave inappropriately. The only evidence we are shown to highlight this is her continuous burping at the dinner table and her family’s obvious disgust. I felt that this aspect of the story (The effects of the accident) could have been explored in more detail as Cassandra’s hate for her twin supposedly because of her behaviour seemed far fetched and unfounded.

Cassandra even goes as far as to tell a friend that she feels to kill Sandra because she is so disgusted by her. At the same time Sandra is being comforted by their mother, played by Patience. Patience tells her that god is with her and when she feels her misbehaviour coming on she should pray to god to ask her to control it. She is distraught and sobs in her mothers arms,

“I feel so ashamed when I misbehave… I can’t help it.”
