Generally Notes
- 6 already a tension (light and funny) between individual and social identity - D wondering if he will be the hero of his own story and then going back to the hours before his birth, recounting Betsey Trotwood talking about his father and then calling his mother "Baby" to, again, play with the reference to self
- 7 potential alternative identities: Betsey Trotwood Copperfield
