Chapter wise critical analysis

Chapter 54
This chapter helps settle several plotlines, including
Miss Betsey’s mysterious husband, who is now
finally gone. Agnes’ support of her father shows her
strong loyalty and character. Traddles, also, is
shown to actually be quite competent and worthy
of trust.
Chapter 55
The irony of Ham dying in attempting to rescue
Steerforth is quite bitter. Ham is shown as good,
responsible, and brave to the very end. He has been
seeking his death in some way since Emily left him,
and now he has found it.
Chapter 56
Rosa Dartle’s statements to Mrs. Steerforth show a
very interesting perspective. She argues that his
mother created Steerforth by allowing him to do
whatever he wanted, and is therefore ultimately
responsible for whatever Steerforth did. Her
declarations of love are surprising, although they
match the admiration that everyone else held for
him. David’s own feelings toward Steerforth remain
positive despite all the pain that Steerforth has
caused.
Chapter 57
The boat for Australia represents a new life for all
the people on board. The Micawbers hope to finally
escape their debt and establish themselves as
prosperous members of society. Mr. Peggotty and
Emily are leaving behind the land of Emily’s
disgrace. The fact that Martha has been included in
this new life shows that Mr. Peggotty has learned to
give everyone a second chance.
U 58
David’s time alone gives him the opportunity to
contemplate his life. He realizes that his relationship
with Dora was not a good one. He also rediscovers
his childhood friend, Agnes, and grows to
understand that she has always been a much more
suitable partner for him.
Chapter 59
The contrast between the two marriages is clear.
The Traddles are poor but hopeful. Unlike Dora,
Sophie has been able to manage the household
expertly and learns several tricks to help her
husband’s career. While they are taken advantage
of by all of their relatives, they manage to make
their situation work.
Chapter 60
David’s relationship with Agnes is different from his
previous relationships. He is able to restrain himself
from declaring his love because he respects Agnes
and values their friendship. Unlike his previous
relationships, David’s feelings for Agnes are
founded on her character, not just her appearance.
He knows and understands her
