Afterwards, their marriage ended with separation, but she still had been blackmailed by that evil till he died. In her mind, she had regretted having made that mistake. Consequently, she hoped the baby would be a girl, but David39。s mother gave birth to a boy, who was David. Betsey left at once, disappointedly and angrily. She didn39。t go to see them again for ten years. On the other hand, she was a kindhearted woman. In Chapter Fifteen ,David reached Betsey39。s houses after a seven day39。s walk with a worn out look and in slovenly clothes. After hearing David39。s experiences, she immediately decided to accept this poor little boy. Later she adopted David and offered him good education and also gave him motherly affection. From her words to David never be mean to anything。 never be false。 never be cruel [3] We could see that Aunt Betsey was an upright woman. Not only did she adopt David, but also she looked after , who was mentally ill, yet not her relative friend. As David grew up, we could understand her more deeply. She was not a perfect character, but she left readers a deep impression besides the main characters in the novel. Agnes as a good girlAgnes,David39。s second wife, was not only beautiful and gentle, but also intelligent and kindhearted. Her excellence was embodied in the description of her relations with three men in the novel. The first was her father, . He brought up Agnes himself after Agnes39。 mother died. Agnes was filial towards her father. For instance, her father didn39。t want her to go to school, and though she desires to do so, she stayed at home and managed the house since she was a teenager. These characteristics showed that Agnes behaved in a mature way, which was quite a contrast to Dora. The second was Uria Heep, who had been her father39。s assistant, and later became her father39。s partner. This character was the most detestable in David Copperfield. He wanted to marry Agnes only for the purpose of being a man with high social status and defrauding 39。s property. Agnes knew what Heep was planning to do, but had no idea to fight against his plans. On this point, Agnes39。 weakness was revealed. If David, Traddles and hadn39。t exposed Heep by showing the evidence of Heep39。s crime, Agnes might have been forced to marry Heep. The third was David, who had been Agnes good friend since childhood. Agnes treated him like her younger brother. When David was told that his greataunt Betsey had suffered a sudden bankruptcy, he was so worried about their future life. At that time, Agnes came to London and encouraged David to look for a parttime job, to earn some money for the daily expenses of the whole family. With Agnes39。 help, David was employed by Dr. Strong as his private secretary. Agnes, in this sense, was playing the role of a counselor [4] She helped David to solve problems, and always brought hope to him. She was liked Hope embodied, to me. Hoe different I left in one short minute, having Agnes at my side! It was proper to call her a good Anger [5] . Agnes was a beautiful girl with goodness, resolution and all noble qualities [6] . David chose Agnes to be his wife, which might have been the best choice and result for him. She had loved David secretly for years。 she supported David。 she shared with him both joy and difficulties. So both David and readers were satisfied with this perfect woman and a happy ending.These two positive characters reflect the Dickens39。 method os suffering education and warmth probation, transform assets and society. Betsey doesn39。t like David at first, but when poor David finds her through a long journey, she begins to like him, and supports David to go to university and have a good job. This reflects the kindhearted during the blood relationship. The other hand is Agnes, she is a good girl and she always gives the hand to David, and loves him forever. She contributes herself and she never wants to something in return from David. This tells us that we should have charity and forgive and make our haven dream e true. The negative role James Steerforth as abductorSteeforth was a slick, egotistical, wealthy young man whose sense of selfimportance overwhelmed all his opinions. Steerforth underscored the differences between what we understood as readers and what David saw—in his youthful naivete. David took Steerforth39。s kindness for granted without analyzing his motives or detecting his duplicity. When Steerforth befriended David at Salem House, David didn39。t suspect that. Steerforth was simply trying to use David to make friends and gained status. Though Steerforth belittled David from the moment they met, David was incapable of conceiving that his new friend might be taking advantage of Steerforth39。s duplicity was so clear to us, David39。s lack of insight into Steerforth39。s true intentions emphasied his youthful innocence. Steerforth liked David only because David worshiped him, and his final betrayal came as a surprise to David but not to us. Urian Heep as an evilUriah served a foil to David and contrasted David39。s qualities of innocence and make passion with his own corruption. Though Uriah was raised in a cruel environment similar to David39。s, Uriah39。s upbringing caused him to bee bitter and vengeful rather than honest and hopeful. Dickens39。 physical description of Uriah marked Uriah as a demonic character. He referred to Uriah39。s movements as snakelike and gave Uriah red hair and red eyes. Uriah and David not only had opposing characteristics but also operated at crosspurposes. For example,whereas Uriah wished to marry Agnes only in order to hurt David, David39。s marriages were motivated by love. The frequent contrast between Uriah39。s and David39。s sentiments emphasized David39。s kindness and moral integrity.While David39。s character developm
