The sandman was an interesting piece. I liked how it began as a series of letters between
Nathaniel and Lothar/Klara, where you could see Nathaniel 's warped perception and the more logical/dismissal view point of Lothar and Klara. I also thought it was odd that this style was kind of abandoned and went in to a narration from the point of Nathaniel. This loss of communication with his closes friends comes at the same point when Nathaniel starts to become obsessed with the 'girl' Olympia, and shows his loss of reality and stability.
Throughout the story there is repetition when it comes to the eyes of the characters. Nathaniel almost loses his to the Sandman Coppelius as a child, but Coppelius decides not to take them, though in the end uses his eyes against him.
