* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Dora hopeless at domestic and practical matters because she's been spoiled and sheltered all her life, or is she actually [[DiagnosedByTheAudience mentally or developmentally challenged in some way,]] along the lines of Mr. Dick's simplemindedness if not quite to the same degree? After all, she seems genuinely ''frightened'' of anything outside her comfort zone, like housekeeping or practical matters, to the point that she flies into a panic when David even broaches the subject during their engagement. Later in their marriage, she really does try to improve as a practical housekeeper, but fails...which seems to suggest that it's not so much that she won't learn, but that she CAN'T learn. This could possibly be due to some limitation in her mental and emotional development.

** If this is the case, is her father Francis Spenlow merely a stereotypically tyrannical father who disapproves of David as a suitor on financial and social grounds...or is he quite aware of Dora's limitations and knows she's in no way cut out for the realities of such a marriage as David could provide? After all, he doesn't fire David on the spot, he speaks reasonably to him and assures him he hasn't been at all harsh with Dora, he knows perfectly well that David's a hard and dependable worker who's trying to improve his situation after a setback, and he seems to have no poor opinion of David personally, inviting him to his home as a guest on several occasions. He does mention social and financial standing when he rebukes David, but that could be tied into this. He might figure that Dora will have to marry someone, since she needs someone to look after her and neither he nor his sisters will be around forever. But he might figure the ideal husband for Dora would be someone a little older and much more mature, with the patience and maturity to look after her as she needs to be looked after, and with the financial resources to hire and manage an army of servants so she won't be troubled with domestic matters she's not fit to take on. He may have known perfectly well that David Copperfield, for all his fine qualities, was not that person...and that even by the time he grew to be that person, his intelligence would mean they were mismatched as a couple, as David himself grew to realize and as Dora admitted on her deathbed. And the thing is, in this case, the so-called "tyrannical father" was RIGHT...they were both too young and immature and it was really not much more than a youthful infatuation.
