Never stopping to think about whom she’s hurting Sally Bowles whizzes through life like it’s a game. Sally’s unique style is based on divine decadence, which is symbolised throughout “ The Cabaret”.
Sally presents her self to be open & direct, self centered, careless, and untruthful, which is influenced by the shame that came upon her self in order to cover up reality. Sally performs the song ‘Life is a Cabaret’, but is sally’s life really a Cabaret? Cabaret is considered to be a party and this is how she treats her life. Sally lives in a fantasy world where she hides behind a dark shadow believing that the drugs and liquor won’t pull her down, but knows deep down that these things are going to catch up on
Sally is a very momentous character that believes she was going to make it as an actress when reality finally hits she realises that she has not succeeded and she was no superior than the prostitute boarding in the same apartment as her. Sally had skimmed her self across the surface of Berlin but the depths eventually sucked her down.
