Dickens’s women characters often play the role of man’s savior. They seem to embody the Victorian domestic ideal of woman, the ‘angel in the house’, whose ultimate ideological function is to fortify the male dominant social structure. The heroines in Dickens’s later novels, however, turn out to have behind their passive appearance very active or aggressive personality which does not correspond to the image of the Victorian ideal woman. In fact, we may even say that the creation of such saving women is a result of Dickens’s imaginative disillusion about the corrupt system of Victorian society and his earnest search for the values to redeem the society.
Lizzie Hexam in Our Mutual Friend is the most complicated example of those heroines by whose saving power and active role Dickens symbolizes a possibility of social redemption. She might be easily mistaken for merely a pure, obedient, angel-like, but characterless girl. Behind her self-sacrificing attitude and passive appearance, however, we can find a very active and self-assertive nature of a mature woman, as we do in Little Dorrit.
Lizzie is also a problematic character who suffers from her position as an attractive poor working class woman. These sufferings of Lizzie, related to class and gender problems, is a new feature which any other women savior in Dickens’s work doesn’t have. In spite of her disadvantage, Lizzie supports her family and saves Eugene Wrayburn from failure and death.
Lizzie’s act of saving Eugene, who can be regarded as a representative ruling class gentleman of the corrupt Victorian society, suggests a symbolic vision of social redemption. After all, we can affirm through the case of Lizzie Hexam that Dickens created the saving women characters not to serve the oppressive Victorian domestic ideology but to suggest a possibility of the rebirth of his society which was made ill by such an ideology.
