Chapter 53: Even I have trouble with Dickens’s point of view—that Dora is better off dead, then a disappointment to her husband. Were we intended to accept this point of view as wise? Knowing what we do of his marriage to, and attitude toward, Katherine, I wonder if she interpreted Copperfield as a statement that she too would have been better off dead, because she was not a satisfactory spouse for Dickens.
