Dorri t is love which is seen in the character of Amy Dorrit. Her
love is mostly seen through her care and affection for her
family, Arthur Clennam and his mother. The latter is a touching
and wonderful one for she can show her love to Arthur and
Mrs.Clennam, eventhough she knows that Arthur does not love her
and Mrs.Clennam hates her. It. arouses the question in the thesis
writer's mind whether her love to them is only to gain Arthur's
sympathy, the one whom she loves and admires, or whether it is
really a sincere love. The analysis, then, is focused on the re-demption
of Arthur and Mrs. Clennam by Amy's love. In this case,
the thesis writer analyzes what the main character, Amy Dorrit,
does and says to Arthur and Mrs.Clennam. From Arthur and
Mrs .Clennam' s redemption, it can be seen clearly that Amy's
attitude is really based on love. Amy offers her love to them
eventhough Arthur does not love her and Mrs. Clennam hates her.
With her love and gentleness, Arthur can regain his spirit of
life and Mrs. Clennam becomes a humble woman. Thus Amy's love
is eros because of her romantic love to Arthur. Her love is
also agape for her love is patient, kind, tender, merciful, and
she never asks to be paid back.
