In the three act play "Journey's End" by R.C. Sherriff, which is set in a dugout in France in the dying stages of the First World War. The play also takes place over a period of four days. In my opinion, I believe the most admiralable character is Lieutenant Osborne (who is second in command of "c" company). This is the company which the play centres on.
             Osborne is a tall, thin man and is about forty-five years old. He also has iron-grey hair and is physically as hard as nails. When Osborne was at home on leave he made a rockery, picked primroses from the woods and played with his two sons. This shows that Osborne is a family man who likes gardening. He also used to play Rugby for The Harlequins and played for England on one occasion.
             One of Osborne's admirable characteristics is his loyalty. We first see his loyalty in Act One Scene One when he is having a conversation with Hardy, a commander of another company. They are talking about Stanhope, the commander of "c" company. Hardy is talking about Stanhope's drinking problem and saying that Osborne should be company commander. Osborne shows his loyalty when he says that there isn't a man to touch Stanhope as a commander of men. Osborne also shows his modesty here when he doesn't agree with Hardy that he should be company commander. This shows that Osborne believes that Stanhope is the better commander, even though Osborne is more than twice Stanhope's age and has been out in the war for longer.
             Another one of Osborne's admirable characteristics is his kindness. We see his kindness when Raleigh, a new officer, enters the play. Osborne helps Raleigh to settle in by giving him a glass of whiskey and a cigarette. He also tells him that the other men call him Uncle. I think they call him Uncle because he is a person they can trust and talk to.
             Being trusting and deferential are two other admirable...
