초록
David Copperfield begins with the titular character's statement that “whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else.” The writer does not answer this initial question, which might be readers' job. But David's ‘maturity’ is, to some extent, undeniable in that he acknowledges his own responsibility for the unhappy marriage with Dora and achieves mature self-knowledge through the recognition of his ‘undisciplined’ heart. He also succeeds as a popular writer. Of course, there are some regressive moments in his progression to maturity. We are forced to notice, for example, his recurrent narrow sympathy and lack of moral discrimination, both of which are related with his class consciousness. He, however, is a different figure from Murdstone who represents a cold and ruthless Victorian middle-class man. This difference shows itself clearly through their opposing responses to their own ‘angels in the house,’ Dora and Clara respectively. Despite the narrator's confident assertions about his own success and development, his narrative often includes irresolutions or uncertainties. This discrepancy between confidence and self-doubt serves to make David Copperfield a typical ‘Bildungsroman’ which is, according to Moretti, “the symbolic form of modernity.”
Abstract
David Copperfield begins with the titular character's statement that “whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else.” The writer does not answer this initial question, which might be readers' job. But David's ‘maturity’ is, to some extent, undeniable in that he acknowledges his own responsibility for the unhappy marriage with Dora and achieves mature self-knowledge through the recognition of his ‘undisciplined’ heart. He also succeeds as a popular writer. Of course, there are some regressive moments in his progression to maturity. We are forced to notice, for example, his recurrent narrow sympathy and lack of moral discrimination, both of which are related with his class consciousness. He, however, is a different figure from Murdstone who represents a cold and ruthless Victorian middle-class man. This difference shows itself clearly through their opposing responses to their own ‘angels in the house,’ Dora and Clara respectively. Despite the narrator's confident assertions about his own success and development, his narrative often includes irresolutions or uncertainties. This discrepancy between confidence and self-doubt serves to make David Copperfield a typical ‘Bildungsroman’ which is, according to Moretti, “the symbolic form of modernity.”
