 David Copperfield
David was born in Blunderstone, in Suffolk, in the east of England. The name “David” comes from his father’s name. When he was born, his father had died. He has a mother called Clara. The richest and the most important person in their family is his father’s aunt Miss Betsey Trotwood.
Miss Betsey Trotwood had been married once. But their marriage didn’t spend too long. Because her husband demanded money from her, and sometimes beat her, so she decided to divorce. After their divorce, her husband went abroad. And soon she found out that her husband had died.
One day, before David’s birth, Miss Betsey Trotwood went to visit his mother. And while they were talking about Mr. Copperfield’s death, suddenly Mrs. Copperfield fell down. Their servant Peggotty called the doctor. The doctor came and he stayed all evening. After his examination, he came to the sitting room. Miss Betsey Trotwood asked him how she was. The doctor said she was good and added that she had got a baby. She was very sorry because she had wanted a girl baby. So she went away and never came back.
A few days later, David realized that his mother went out walking, in her best clothes, with a gentleman called Mr. Murdstone. Peggotty didn’t like him.
One day, Peggotty told him that his mother was going to have a short holiday with some of her friends. Meanwhile, Peggotty and David could go to stay with Peggotty’s brother Daniel in Yarmouth for two weeks.
After their journey, they arrived in Yarmouth. There was a house on the sand. Daniel Peggotty and his adopted children Emily and Ham were living at this house. David was introduced to them. He was very happy there. So he was crying when they left.
On their journey, Peggotty told him that she had to say something to him and said that his mother had got married with Mr. Murdstone. After this event David was shocked and he didn’t know what to say.
When they arrived home, he went to his room and started sobbing. His mother came into the room to calm down her son. |
