Betsey Trotwood

          The first time she appears in the novel she is showed to us as a cold and old woman, with her ideas too clears, and without compassion on the widow of her nephew David Copperfield; it is the day in march when would born David Copperfield junior in Rockery a little house in the county of Suffolk; the more certain is that she were who caused the born, because of the shock she gave to the young Clara Copperfield.

          The character of Betsey Trotwood is gradualment developed all along the novel although she maintains values as firmness and the stubbornness. Betsey Trotwood lives in a house beside the beach, with a man called Dick very sympathetic and a little mad, who dedicates all his life to write and rewrite a book of memories constantly which he never concludes without mentionate in it the head of Charles I and to make fly kites; and lives with a servant who is very similar in temper to herself too.

          The worst offence that can be do to her is drive a donkey in the fields ahead of her house, that can be sawn when the Murdstone brothers done it when they wanted to speak with her about David.

          Miss Trotwood visited Rockery with the end of stand godmother of the "girl" who was going to born, who would be called as herself  "Betsey Trotwood", when she is informed that the just born child is a "boy" come out the house denying of the poor  David. However is she who will be his second mother, who receive and protect him when David left the job where the murdstones had sent him; she will be who affords him an education, a place where live while he is studying (the Wickfield's one)...

          When her name is mentioned  always is called "Miss" but in the middle of the story we know she was married and, although it is said that him was die, he is live and demands from time to time money (and she, for the remembrance of her love give it him even when she thinks she is in the ruin). The husband finally dies but before it he repented of all he made Betsey.

          The subject of the money is other very important in the intrigue of David Copperfield because Miss Betsey Trotwood is a rich woman and made use of her money, her administrator is Mr Wickfield, and when Miss Trotwood thinks she is the culpable of her ruin, she didn't say nothing to anyone and in fact she gets up of the misery; on the contrary  at the end of the novel we realize that the guilty is Uriah Heep, associate of Mr Wickfield, he is who had swindled her and other people more, so finally she recovered her wealth.

          Her relation with the Peggotty is curious because she did not agree to call her so never, and when she knew the Peggotty was married she started to call her Barkis; they at last live together.

 In the end of the novel we know that, she which more than eighty years old, had obtained her Betsey Trotwood Copperfield, daughter of David and Agnes.
