* DesignatedHero: Clara, who is frequently described as a "clear mind" and the voice of reason in the story, the story itself depicts her as blowing all warnings about Nathanael's situation away, reading his letter that wasn't even meant to her and acting overly dismissive towards Nathanael in general, but acts frustrated [[TheUnfairSex when he acts dismissive to her]]. While she clearly didn't deserve [[spoiler:being almost thrown of the tower by a mad Nathanael]], the fact that [[spoiler:she's the only character in the story who gets a truly happy ending]] rubs some readers the wrong way.
* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Clara gets together with another man and has children with him, good for her!]] But the story simply glosses over that [[spoiler:Nathanael's family has to deal with him being dead and Coppelius is still walking around, with the implications of him being the Sandman never made clear for sure]].

* ValuesDissonance: [[spoiler:Nathanael dying by his own hand and Clara getting together with some other, not mentally disturbed man]] is portrayed as something beautiful, with the narrator even insulting Nathanael for not being "good enough". A story where a mentally disturbed man, whose mental disturbance ''was never his fault'', meeting the same fate as Nathanael would ''never'' work today.

* JerkassWoobie: Nathanael. While he's abrasive and desires a woman [[StayInTheKitchen who doesn't talk back to him]], it's undisputable that his life utterly sucked. He was traumatized by the story of the Sandman, who he recognized in his father's partner Coppelius, had nightmares about Coppelius cooking him and stealing his eyes, witnessed his father die by Coppelius' hand... All of these clearly scarred him, explaining his abrasive behaviour.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The Bealby translation repeatedly calls Coppola a "hawker" (travelling salesman) of oculars and glasses (which he refers to as "eyes"). This resounds beautifully with the tale of Nathanael's nurse, who described the Sandman as a bird-like creature who hunts for eyes--a hawk is a bird of prey, and "to hawk" also means "to hunt in the style of a hawk". But it is entirely a clever translation; in the original, Coppola is just a "Wetterglashändler", which does not strike any such associations.
