Dombey and Son: Difference between revisions

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Toots and Walter}} both make one to Florence. The former gets a [[Better as Friends]] speech, the latter a joyful acceptance.

* [[Armor-Piercing Question]]: Paul to Mr. Dombey; it continues to haunt him throughout the book.

* [[Babies Ever After]]: {{spoiler|Florence and Walter's children, including a [[Dead Guy, Junior]] named Paul.}}

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Poor Florence.

* [[Weddings for Everyone]]: {{spoiler|Florence and Walter, Harriet Carker and Mr. Morfin, Susan and Tooys, even Mrs. Mac Stinger and Captain Bunsby.}}

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: {{spoiler|Susan}} to Mr. Dombey.

* [[Wicked Stepmother]]: Interestingly subverted with Edith Dombey, who is every bit as haughty as the trope suggests, but actually bonds with Florence at first sight. It is Edith's ''kindness'' to his daughter, combined with her cold indifference to him, which Mr. Dombey finds unbearable.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Paul, sometimes bordering on [[Creepy Child]] territory.
