So what exactly is going on between Betsy Trotwood and Mr.
Dick?
I love that Uriah’s name and “ ’umble” both start with a
“u”: It always reminds us that he’s very “umble”. And, of
course, both his last name, “Heep” and “humble” start with an “h”.
My favorite quote so far: “A tender young cork,
however, would have had no more chance against a pair of corkscrews…than I had
against Uriah and Mrs Heep.” (page 265)
Excellent points! I always struggle to picture Uriah 'writhing.' It sounds ominous and horrible, but I can't quite see it...
