A Study of David's realization of an ideal wife through his marriages as seen in Dickens's David Copperfield

This thesis deals with David?s realization on ideal woman in Dickens?s David
Copperfield. I want to know how David finally realizes what an ideal woman for him is
by analyzing each of the character traits of David, Dora, and Agnes. Thus, in doing the
analysis I use the theory of characterization and conflict. David irrationally falls in love
with Dora, so he cannot control his blinded love and he marry her. Meanwhile, Dora, is
not as perfect as what David thinks as his wife. David?s blinded love causes his outer and
inner conflicts in his first marriage. After David starts to think that both of his conflicts
are only caused by his blinded love, then he realizes that an ideal wife is not someone like
he thinks before. In the conclusion, I find out that Dora?s and Agnes?s character traits
give strong influence to the main character: David, to have the realization of an ideal wife
for him.
