Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language
and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of
Potsdam (Institut fur Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Great
Expectations and Hard Times by Charles Dickens, 15 entries in the
bibliography, language: English, abstract: Introduction The
following work is an analysis of the female characters in Charles
Dickens's Great Expectations especially with regard to Victorian
gender constructions and Dickens's image of women. Dickens's
biography and the depiction of very diverse female characters in
his novels stimulated the idea of a closer analysis. First of all,
a short summary of Great Expectations is provided. Then, the
Victorian construction of gender will be discussed. As will be
shown, a very strict ideology regarding gender roles existed during
the Victorian age. Obviously, Dickens must have been influenced by
the ideas of his contemporaries which should then be presented in
the novel. Another focus will be on how his relationships to women
influenced his image of women and also, consequently, the depiction
of his female characters in Great Expectations. Finally the female
characters, with reference to Victorian gender roles and Dickens's
image of women, will be analyzed in greater detail. The focus is on
four women who I believe to be the most important female characters
in the novel and powerful representatives of the author's image of
women and Victorian gender construction.
