Mutual friends essay

This novel was very romantic and emotional because it has a lot of pride and love at the same time, while I was reading the chapters it totally brought me the thought that some people based their relationships upon their financial values and not upon their personal values that are what really matter. I think Charles Dickens just wrote about a situation that still remains an issue now days whensometimes you could be used as an object for money.

This novel was really interested to me because besides that it is written and narrated in a very old and proper way there’s a little part at the beginning that brought me in to doubt because I wasn’t sure what was happening or what was going to be the main problem of this story but then I realized that money and the inappropriate way of usingit was the main issue and that sometimes a rich man can’t know who his true friends are and who are there just for the fortune.
I like the idea of John disguising himself because he wanted to know exactly who he was going to married , during the plot I think that John was always so clever and he knew how to manage all the situation. I was shock when I started to see what the intentions of Mr.Boffin were and how he changed from a generous man to a materialistic one and he treated his secretary (who was John) with cruelty that apparently gave Bella a little lesson about how can a person change their attitude by the bad inherit of money.
When Bella married John believing that he was poor he just took off his disguise and he tell her all the truth like Mr. Boffin being that cruel was partof the test.

This novel brought their characters upon others in order to economically advance letting apart that what really counts is the pursuit of the virtues and the respect. I believe that Charles wanted people to realize how money and social interests can destroy the human relationships.
I think that the situation of marrying a person that the family chooses and that they haven’t seenbefore or met was very common in that time so they really don’t married a person for love; they married sometimes for the fortune, the social status or interests. I remember watching a movie called Pride and Prejudice that was also based on those interests, and well that’s how women really lived and how they suffered trying to be somebody in life by marrying a powerful man without thinking maybeif his intentions were good or bad.

In the other hand I see Lizzie Hexam that she first opposed to married Eugene besides that she knew she would be high society but then they end together no matter what. For me in this novel Lizzie always seemed to be the good girl that helped her brother escaped from his father to study as he always wanted to and making good things to please other people.I saw a little bit of jealousy from her brother and his schoolmaster Mr. Bradley Headstone at the beginning of the chapter seven when they found out that she was seeing Eugene. I love the fact that Mr. Bradley Headstone and Eugene Wrayburn were fighting for Lizzie’s love, one of the most intense parts was when Mr. Bradley declare his love for her because he seemed so nervous and almost speechlessbut when Lizzie said no to his prayers of being his wife he demonstrated signs of jealousy, threatening and hate there’s when I started believing his intentions were bad. Her brother was all upset and angry by Lizzie’s choice because he told her that it was going to be a great opportunity for her to jump in to society but he never realized about her sister’s feelings, Lizzie was never interestedin money, she expected to marry somebody for love and not for his inherit.

I could also see that when Bella started a new life as a high and rich society person she forgot about her beloved family for a while and that’s really sad because here Dickens is trying to make us readers understand how money can make you a different person, a selfish one and as Bella said one time “you can’t...
