This essay proposes that sentiment in Dickens’s novels emphasizes the importance of mutual exchange of feeling in the society and helps to establish the individual’s identity as proper social member. Dickens uses the characteristics of melodrama like plot and a battle between good and evil, where good would triumph and bring morality or justice in society. He was often condemned as over-sentimentality in his fiction, but sentimental elements in Little Dorrit are to help underline the value and possibility of sentiment, which can change the society more positively. Especially to understand others in earnest, we should imagine their situation like ours. Therefore the imagination is the essential element of sympathizing with others. Adam Smith, the Scottish moral philosopher in the Eighteenth-century, also highlights the importance of imagination and suggests the role of impartial spectator sincerely to sympathize with another. This impartial spectator helps understand others in the light of propriety while retaining the psychological distance between self and other. And the narrativity is the most basic and important element in the process of imagination to make our own narrative. Thus the narrativity of sympathy is the process of making various meanings with the imagination. Charles Dickens’s Little Dorrit represents the narrative functions of sympathy as well. He regards the sympathy as a fundamental feature to integrate the self-identity, and the mechanism as well as an emotional capability that can be cultivated and educated in the society. Arthur Clennam, who develops and finds his real self-identity by using sympathetic ability in the narrative, solves the mysteries of his own family and the Dorrits with Amy Dorrit’s assistance. On the other hand, Amy Dorrit, aka Little Dorrit, has the abundant imagination and sympathetic ability, can sympathize with everyone without much effort. That’s because it’s her nature. Unlike Adam Smith, Dickens underlines it’s impossible to systematize or standardize the human nature as an identical form. And highlighting her nature to sympathize with others and comparing hers with Arthur’s sympathetic ability, Dickens considers it the positive value to affect the society after all.
