Throughout the novel, maternal female characters are rarely present, especially in biological mothers. In most of Dickens’ works, he has a “tendency to categorize women exclusively as virgins or mothers, angels or whores” (Hartog 248). This juxtaposition is seen when the adored female characters, such as Biddy and Clara, exist next to Mrs. Joe, Molly, Mrs. Pocket, and Miss. Havisham. All the latter characters are meant to be mother figures in their respective families. Despite their intended purpose, none of these women have any maternal qualities.
