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)
