Between the Little Dorrit and Our Mutual Friend I have come to really appreciate the complexity of Dicken's characters. He always has the bizare/out there characters that make no sense whatsoever, accompanied by the selfish/wealthy/snotty characters. The most important however is his selfless characters that do anything and everything for the ones they love. In the Little Dorrit this character is Amy, also known as Little Dorrit. She gives her world taking care of her father who lives in debtors prison and is somewhat impatient and selfish himself. She sees the good in him and knows there is a reason to his "madness". She spends her time brightening other peoples lives such as characters like Pet Meagles and Maggie. Amy has her own troubles to worry about but instead she focuses on the needs of others. She is the most selfless person I can ever imagine!
Ever since I watched this show I have had a desire to become more like Amy. I want to be someone who is WILLING to do all she can to help others, someone who is selfless and is always thinking of others before themselves, and someone who would do ANYTHING for the ones they love. I have a goal to strive continually to be like her!
