In what ways are Esther two serious suitors, Dr Woodcourt and John Jarndyce, good for her? Do they appeal to different aspects of Esther ot the same general decency? Why does each love Esther?

John Jarndyce is Esther, Ada's, and Richard's benefactor, as well as many other people's. He is kind-hearted and unfailingly generous, and can be taken in by amusing spongers, such as Mr. Skimpole. At all times he counsels against putting hope in the Chancery suit, and he is in love with Esther. He is a fatherly or avuncular figure, and except for his few foibles of misguided philanthropy, a logical and thoroughly admirable character. He seems to be a good man for marriage.
