The Character Sue

If I had to analyze one character from the movie "Carrie" besides Carrie herself I would say that Sue is the next most interesting character. In the beginning of the film Sure just goes along with the crowd when they are all harrassing her in the locker room. She is not the leader of the harrassing  but she is also not standing up for Carrie and telling the other girls to stop. When their gym teacher(cant remember her name) tells the girls that they are going to have to attend detention for a consequence for what they did to Carrie, she seems to make Sue feel very guilty. Sue's best friend or somewhat "partner in crime" is Kris. Kris has a very bad attitude abour the detention and sets out for revenge on their teacher and Carrie. Kris tries to get Sue involved but she tells her to "shut up, and stop complaining". Not only does Sue not get involved in Kris' schemes she also gives up her big prom date with the school hottie Tommy. Sue asks her somewhat boyfriend Tommy, who is the allstar Mr. Popular, to take Carrie White to the senior prom. After a little bit of discussion he agrees to take her. He also ends up taking her and treating her like a princess and letting her have the best night of her life. During the dance when Kris pulls her prank, Sue tries to stop it but does not make it in time. Sue is a great character to this story because you really cant love her, she's practically a saint.
