Esther Summerson vs. Lucy Snowe. That's a no contest in favor of Lucy! Creating three dimentional woman characters was not exactly Dickens strong point although Anna Maxwell-Martin did a tremendous job in making Esther a compelling character in the Bleak House series.
ReplyDeleteThat's right - there aren't many characters - if any! - that could beat the highly-complex Lucy Snowe.
ReplyDeleteEsther is a very good Dickens female, the problem is that we never get close to her (just like Lucy), but unlike Lucy, it doesn't help that Esther doesn't monopolise the narrative. She shares narrative duties with a - somewhat cocky - omniscient being.
ReplyDeleteI'm of the opinion that Boz's ability to create Women (with a capital W) is unappreciated. You have Sally Brass, Miss Wade, Estella, Miss Havisham, Lady Dedlock etc. It's just that these characters get lost amidst some of his more comical and timid of creations.
Still can't hold a candle to Lucy though!
