PERPLEXING MASTER-SERVANT RELATIONSHIPS IN DAVID COPPERFIELD: CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

In David Copperfield, Charles Dickens presents diversities in the treatment of servants: contrary to David Copperfield’s intimate relations with the family servant, Clara Peggotty, he portrays Steerforth’s relationship with his man-servant Littimer and his mother’s companion Rosa Dartle, which is problematic in the sense of master-servant relationships. Class in David Copperfield, represents itself in a fixed manner, in other words, as in Victorian wealthy families’ manner, in spite of lower class people’s potential for feeling, their generosity, affectionate attentiveness for others. In this study, how class differences are represented through characters is going to be scrutinized.
