Miriam Margoyles: A National Treasure - The Skinny Miriam Margoyles: A National Treasure - The Skinny

Agnes is the perfect female character. She seems to have no faults and lives up to a higher moral code than all of the men that surround her. Meanwhile, David is full of faults. He is incapable of recognizing how compatible he and Agnes are together, at first mistaking her goodness and sacrifices for sisterhood rather than something that could turn into the romantic partnership of marriage. This causes his aunt, Betsey Trotwood, to remark that he is “Blind. blind!” (504). He instead chases after Dora, a pretty girl without much substance, but who is angelic in her standards of beauty and innocence. Even though it is clear that David and Dora re not compatible they marry and share a relationship that seems mostly based on his appreciation for her beauty. Despite the fact that Dora does nothing to help build David into the man he is capable of being, she is still viewed as an angelic figure because she does nothing sinful. Bloom, Harold (1994).

It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as I did!'"
