In Chapter 41, David Copperfield and Thomas Traddles visit Dora’s aunts, who permit regular visits but withhold recognition of an engagement and require full knowledge of the couple’s communications. David enjoys his renewed access to Dora, yet worries that everyone treats her as a plaything, even as his own attempts to teach household skills collapse into amusement.
