Abstract: David Copperfield is a masterpiece of Charles Dickens, a great English writer of 19th century, who created many impressive characters in the book. This paper based on the novel makes new analysis on the four main female characters: honest and diligent Nanny Peggotty; cold face but kind-hearted Aunt Betsey; lively and faithful Dora and demure and intelligent Agnes. They not only take care of David in everyday life, also do they give guidance to his mind, making him keep moving on and finally pick the right way. The establishment of those female images, on the other hand, reflects Dickens’ humanism and morality.
