I think Becky and Amelia both are
really unalike only on the surface. Becky is really ambitious and active tring to
pursue her dream of becoming in the high class while Amelia is soft and naïve
and follows whatever the people around her tell her to do so. Amelia is also more loyal to her husband while Becky is really not compared to Amelia. However, I
think they both have something in common subconsciously, such as trying to live a happy life by marring the perfect husband or by not being admirable characters in the book .
So here are some questions... 1. Do you think there are anything else common between the two?
2. Do you like the two characters? Are there any aspects that you think they are great?
3. Which character would you rather marry? Amelia or Becky?
1 I think they are common in being self-centerd. Beckey wants to get money to enjoy her life, while Amelia wants love from George to satisfy her love towards him.
ReplyDelete2 I don't like them... However, I would admire Beckey being such stick to the initial attempt, to become rich, even though she has met someone who loves her. I'm sure the attempt was not admirable, though.
3 If I were a man, I would choose Amelia, since she knows love.
First of all, the point you focus on is really interesting. I didn't think of resemblance between them at all.
ReplyDeleteHere are my answers.
1. Becky and Amelia have one fixed idea of what is important for their own life. For Becky it is high status, and for Amelia it is George.
2. I don't like both of them. At the beginning, I liked Becky because she behaves straightforward for her purpose, but after her son was born, she doesn't care about him at all and that changes my feeling toward her. Amelia is just too naive for me to like her but her affection toward her son is really great.
3.If I were a man, I would marry Amelia. I couldn't bear watching my wife flirting men.lol
1. I don't think they are similar because Becky knows how to behave in order to make her dreams come true, while Amelia does not know well. Becky takes every advantage for herself, but Amelia is less selfish than Becky so she suffers.
ReplyDelete2. I don't like them because they don't seem that they care other people well. (Becky cares only those who treat her well, and Amelia cares only her family, including George and George Jr.)
3. If I were a man, I would marry Amelia. But she might refuse me since I am neither George nor Dobbin (who loves her blindly).
