Ghostly

The beginning of the novel also states that he will be able to see ghosts. I believe that Dora is a "ghost" of his mother in a sense. She doesn't really know how to be a wife or take care of the house. It's also sort of ghostly that the Murdstone's come back into davids life when we that those characters have died out in the novel. It's interesting how the author makes references to ghosts and then later on Agnes calls Steerforth his "dark angel". Ghosts are mostly represented as see through and I believe he's starting to see through some of the characters such as Steerforth.
