incapable of managing the business and it fails.In the end Paul is reconciled with his daughter,living with her family,and doting on his grandchildren.,This novel,written by Charles Dickens mirrors the 19,th,century society.,Dombey and son,it is a generic title because it gives the reader the name of the two major characters of the book but it also reveals the name of their Firm which is equal with the idea of House.,3,2025/3/25 周二,Chapter one,his daughter clung about her mother and the worry about Mrs.Dombey(p13-45),Miss Toxs ambition(p46-68),the death of

room,in the great arm chair by the bedside,and son lay tucked up warm in a little basket bedstead,carefully disposed on a low settee immediately,in front of the fire,and close to it,as if his constitution were analogous to that of a muffin,and it was essential to toast him brown while he was very new.(p2)Dombey was about,eight-and-forty years of age,.son about,eight-and-forty minutes,.Dombey was,rather bald,rather red,and though a handsome well-made man,too stern and pompous in appearance,to be prepossessing.son was,very bald,and very red,and though(of course)an undeniably fine infant,somewhat crushed and spotty in his general effect,as yet.,The analysis of Chapter one(P1-12,),The text begins with a description of both Dombey and son but revealed in aopposition,for example we have the visual imagery:Dombey is sitting in a darken corner but his son is in front of the fire that gives us the impression of the real place that the place of Dombey will be taken by the son.,The description of the two characters using the opposition in the text and it is used a syntactic parallelism:,Dombey was about eight-and-forty years of age.Son about eight-and-forty minutes.Dombey was rather bald,rather red and son was very bald and very red.,5,2025/3/25 周二,The analysis of irony sentences,(p10)those three words conveyed the one idea of Mr.Dombeys life.,The

importance of Dombey and his son.All the elements of nature are ready for them:for making business.They allwork forhis firm to make sure that he has no limits.,6,2025/3/25 周二,The description of opposition,Dombey and son had often dealt in hides,but never in hearts.,they left that fancy ware to boys and girls,and boarding-schools and books.Mr.Dombey would have reasoned:that a matrimonial alliance with himself must,in the nature of things,be gratifying and honourable to any woman of common sense.that the hope of giving birth to a new partner in such a house,could not fail to awaken a glorious and stirring ambition in the breast of the least ambitious of her sex.that,Mrs.Dombey,had entered on that,social contract of matrimony,:almost necessarily part of a genteel and wealthy station,even without reference to the perpetuation of family firms:with her eyes fully open to these advantages.that Mrs.Dombey had had daily practical knowledge of his position in society.that Mrs.Dombey had always sat at the head of his table,and done the honours of his house in a remarkably lady-like and becoming manner.that,Mrs.Dombey must have been happy.that she couldnt help it.,The analysis of Chapter one(P1-12,),First sentence in this paragraph is also the irony sentence.Dombey and son had nothing to do with feelings but only with business.,There I want to say something about Mrs.Dombey.Frankly speaking,as a female,I really feel angry about this part.Its ridiculous.Mrs.Dombey is a typical women in the Victorian age that had no name,they were called by their husbands name,and just like the belonging of their husband.In fact the most funny thing is that Mr.Dombey considers their marriages were social contracts,not a marriage,not a love relationship,but a contract.,7,2025/3/25 周二,Dombey,Dombey was rather bald,rather red,and though a handsome well-made man,too stern and pompous in appearance,to be prepossessing.,(p111-2),Stern,pompous,Dombey,exulting in the long-looked-for event,jingled and jingled the heavy gold watch-chain that depended from below his trim blue coat,whereof the buttons sparkled phosphorescently in the feeble rays of the distant fire.,(p112-2),Rich man,8,2025/3/25 周二,Dombey,Those three words conveyed the one idea of Mr.Dombeys life.The earth was made for Dombey and Son to trade in,and the sun and moon were made to give them light.Rivers and seas were formed to float their ships;,rainbows gave them promise of fair weather;,winds blew for or against their enterprises;,stars and planets circled in their orbits,to preserve inviolate a system of which they were the centre.Common abbreviations took new meanings in his eyes,，,and had sole reference to them:,A.D.had no concern with anno Domini,but stood for anno Dombeiand Son.,(p112-9),Pompous pround,9,2025/3/25 周二,Dombey,The words had such a softening influence,that he appended a term of endearment to Mrs.Dombeys name,（,though not without some hesitation,as being a man but little used to that form of address,）,:and said,”Mrs.Dombey,mymy dear.”,A transient flush of faint surprise overspread the sick ladys face as she raised her eyes towards him.,“He will be christened Paul,myMrs.Dombeyof course.”,(p112-4-6),Selfishly concerned with just momney.,10,2025/3/25 周二,Dombey,Such idle talk was little likely to reach the ears of Mr.Dombey,whom it nearly concerned;,and probably no one in the world would have received it with such utter incredulity as he,if it had reached him.Dombey and Son had often dealt in hides,but never in hearts.That Mrs.Dombey had entered on that social contract of matrimony:almost necessarily part of a genteel and wealthy station,even without reference to the perpetuation of family firms:,with her eyes fully open to these advantages.That Mrs.Dombey had had daily practical knowledge of his position in society.That Mrs.Dombey had always sat at the head of his table,，,and done the honours of his house in a remarkably

the basket bedstead,and slightly bending his brows at the same time.“Miss Florence was all very well,but this is another matter.This young gentleman has to accomplish a destiny.A destiny,little fellow!”As he thus apostrophised the infant he raised one of his hands to his lips,and kissed it;,then,seeming to fear that the action involved some compromise of his dignity,went,awkwardly enough,away.,(p114-7),Face saving and pompous,12,2025/3/25 周二,Dombey,To speak of;,none worth mentioningIn the capital of the Houses name and dignity,such a child was merely a piece of base coin that couldnt be investeda bad Boynothing more.,(p113-3),Mr.Dombey was quite discomfited by the question.He had thought so little of the patient,that he was not in a condition to answer it.He said that it would be a satisfaction to him,if Doctor Parker Peps would walk up stairs again.,(p115-1),To record of Mr.Dombey that he was not in his way affected by this intelligence,would be to do him an injustice,and other household possessions,which was well worth the having,and could not be lost without sincere regret.Though it would be a cool,business-like,gentlemanly,self-possessed regret,no doubt.,(p116-2),Inhospitality,impersonality,inflexible,13,2025/3/25 周二,Conclusion,Mr.Dombey is a stern,pompous,cold and inflexible rich business man.A typical person of Victorian age who is affected

meditations on the subject were soon interrupted,first by the rustling of garments on the staircase,”My dear Paul!,Hes quite a Dombey!”,(p116-3-4),“Its very foolish of me,”said Louisa,sitting down,and taking out her pocket-handkerchief,“but heshes such a perfect Dombey!,I never saw anything like it in my life!”(,p116-6),“My dear Paul,”returned Louisa,“its nothing whatever.,But I dare say shell make it;,I have no doubt shell make it.,(p116-8),“Well!”said Mrs.Chick,with a sweet smile,“after this,I forgive Fanny everything!”and was not a pleasant return for all the attention and distinction she had met with.,(p119-2-3),Louisa was also very pompous,cold and inflexible.,16,2025/3/25 周二,Miss Tox,The lady thus specially presented,was a long lean figure,as in an invincible determination never to turn up at anything.,(p117-5),“I knew you would admire my brother.I told you so before-hand,my dear,，,”said Louisa.A pecuniary Duke of York,my love,and nothing short of it!”said Miss Tox.“Thats what I

society.,The capitalist society at that time has a big improvement.The industrialized England is developing quickly,.,Dickens has described the different but conjoint aspects in English capitalistic society of 19th century.,In the capitalistic society the capitalists bend themselves to make money and exploit the labor workers.They pay too much attention to fortune and forget the humanity.At that time,Dombey is the representation of the capitalists.They are cool,stiffly.,They only know how to make a pile,but dont know other happiness.To them,the heir means the continuous of the capital.Dombey
