Pride, arrogance, betrayal, and deceit juxtaposed against humility, love, loyalty, and devotion. Paul Dombey is a loathsome, despicable character whose pride and joy is bound up in his son who dies at a young age. Florence, his daughter spends her life trying to win her father's love to no avail...well, there is redemption in the end. The story is like a soap opera with a host of characters and subplots. Dickensian prose does not make for light reading!
