Betsy Trotwood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Betsy Trotwood is a fictional character from Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield.
She is David's great-aunt and has an unfavorable view of men and boys. She appears in the first chapter where she demonstrates her uncommon personality and her dislike of boys when she storms out of the house after hearing that David's mother is having a son.
She plays a bigger role in David Copperfield's life by taking him in after he has run away from where his stepfather Edward Murdstone had stationed him to work at. She provides him with school and opportunities for work, thus showing her complex character.
