Status Updates From Bleak House

Esther is Lizzie from Our Mutual Friend is Agnes from David Copperfield but unlike those two she has a first person pov and I fear Dickens trying to write from the pov of a woman is the great downfall of this novel (which is still great, because Dickens was a terrific storyteller and writer, but sadly suffers from severe angelic-woman syndrome)

I’m trying to decide if what I’m experiencing (also felt this 50 pages and 250 pages in) is this kind of delirium that comes with reading something so dense. Delirium is the point, yes?
