Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Dombey ja Poika" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Paul Dombey, a wealthy London merchant, and the birth of his son, whom he sees as a continuation of his legacy. The narrative explores themes of pride, family dynamics, and social expectations, particularly through the lens of Dombey's relationships with his wife and children. The opening of the novel introduces us to Paul Dombey as he eagerly anticipates the birth of his son, whom he views with both joy and a sense of ownership, indicating his mercantile mentality. Alongside his wife, who is gravely ill, Dombey expresses his overwhelming pride in having a male heir, almost reducing the familial bond to mere business transactions. The beginning of the narrative lays the foundation for the family's struggles with emotional connections and societal pressures, hinting at the complexities that will unfold as the story progresses. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Dombey's aspirations for his son come with a heavy emotional price, setting the stage for the conflicts and themes Dickens will explore throughout the novel.
