write a detailed character sketch of dona laura based on her actions and interaction with other character
Answers
‘A Sunny Morning’ is a romantic comedy with only two main characters Don Gonzalo and Dona Laura who are in their seventies now. Their chance meeting on a sunny morning in a park in Madrid gives the characters an opportunity to relive the story of their love affair when they were living in Marfcela. The whole story is built up through witty, humorous, lively and spontaneous interaction between them. When the play opens, we find Dona Laura happily speaking to the pigeons which were feeding on the bread crumbs. When Don Gonzalo comes there looking for a bench, Dona Laura accuses him of scaring away her birds. In reply, Don Gonzalo tells her that it is a public park and he doesn’t care about the birds. Dona Laura asks him why then did he complain that the priests had taken his seat. Later, when Don Gonzalo comes back to the same place to sit, she asks him why he was seen there again. But, when he tries to put her off saying that they had not met, she tells him that she was only responding to his gesture. When he tells her that she ought to have only returned his greeting, she remarks that he should have taken her permission to sit on that bench. Finally, with her witty remarks, she makes him tongue-tied and helpless. When he mutters to himself, saying that she was a senile old lady and she ought to be at home knitting and counting her beads, she asks him not to grumble any more. When she finds him cleaning his shoes with his handkerchief, she taunts him asking whether one uses a handkerchief as a shoe brush. In reply, when Gonzalo asks her what right she has to criticize his actions, she answers playfully that it was her right as a neighbour. When Gonzalo tries to put her off rudely saying that he does not care to listen to nonsense, she once again teases him remarking that he was very polite. When Gonzalo asks her apologetically not to interfere with what does not concern her, she again tells him stubbornly that she generally says what she thinks. From then on their spontaneous exchange takes a positive direction and soon they become friends.

Answer:
Here in this question we will see the detailed character sketch of Dona Laura in the explanation section.
Explanation:
If we do the characterization of Dona Laura, she is a perfect representative of the elder generation which is an exception. She is described to be perfect in mannerism and beautiful by nature which is rare one but has been deliberately done. When initially she meets with Gonzalo , he is not very appealing but the moment she realizes that he is the same person who is known to her long ago then there is a complete shift in her approach.
Laura appears quite strict and outspoken and she does not care to about the feelings of nearby people .Laura has always been a keen observer for both the people and the nature around her that includes birds and when it comes to human nature, she has always ridiculed Petra to such an extent that Petra has learned to overcome the humiliation and that it turns into honor.
