YMMV / Dombey and Son

• Jerkass Woobie: Mr. Dombey toward the end of the book.
• Les Yay: Susan's almost worshipful feelings for Florence sometimes come across as this, especially when she breaks out the endearments ("my darling"; "the dearest and blessedest angel there ever was"; "my heart's own mistress") or bursts into tears at hearing about Florence's engagement. She even mentions feeling the same way about Florence as Toots does.
• Mind Game Ship: James Carker sees right through Edith and she knows it; he gets a thrill out of manipulating her.
• The Woobie:
  • Toots! He's mentally handicapped and knows it (remembering a time before), desperately in love with a girl who will never feel the same, borderline suicidal, and still doesn't have an unkind or jealous bone in his body.
  • Paul and Florence, who are neglected by their father.
  • John and Harriet Carker, who are (respectively) mistreated by their employer, or completely ignored by their brother.
