This paper investigates Charles Dickens’presentation of women and the effect of his perception of women on shaping female characters in his novels Oliver Twist and Great Expectations. These two novels are selected carefully because they contain a number of odd women and cruel mothers. The first novel to be discussed, one of Dickens’ earliest works, is Oliver Twist, published between February 1837 and April 1839. The various mother figures for Oliver will be analyzed. The second novel to be investigated is Great Expectations which was published between December 1860 and August 1861 and is one of Dickens’ last novels. This paper sheds the light on his personal life and his experiences as a child that had a great impact on his view of women. The cruel mother who was happy for sending him to work when he was twelve years old created cruel characters in his novels. The image of caring mothers is almost absent in most of his works. Also, the relationship with his wife was one of the factors for creating such odd characters. On the other hand, the Victorian perception of women has affected greatly on his writing about women. He was sympathetic with the women who were enforced to be prostitutes. As for normal women, very few characters can be found in his novels. Thus, the current study is an attempt to find out the reasons for such dark representation of female characters. |
