Miss Amelia and the others in the story
When Sara becomes poor and must work at the school, Miss Amelia secretly feels sorry for her. Yet she is too weak to challenge her sister or do anything to help the child. Her sympathy contrasts with Miss Minchin's cruelty, but it does not protect Sara from hunger, cold or harsh treatment.
