In the following chapter, however, Arthur regains his confidence and, momentarily free of his mother’s chains, he approaches Sancho at Linden-Car. Gilbert recalls, In a little while, however, I was sensible that someone was approaching me, with a light, but slow and hesitating tread. It was at my feet. On looking up, I beheld him standing about two yards off, with his clear blue eyes wistfully gazing on the dog, transfixed to the spot, not by fear of the animal, but by a timid disinclination to approach its master. A little encouragement, however, induced him to come forward. The child, though shy, was not sullen. In a minute he was kneeling on the carpet, with his arms round Sancho’s neck, and in a minute or two more, the little fellow was seated on my knee. 28 Here, Arthur bonds with Gilbert through the dog, and their relationship solidifies. The dog serves as a mediator for Gilbert’s connection with Arthur, and Gilbert uses Arthur as an excuse to call on or approach Helen several times before she gives him the diary. Eventually, it is the indelible connection between Sancho, Arthur, and Arthur’s view of Gilbert as a father figure that leads to Gilbert and Helen’s marriage. Upon Markham’s arrival at Staningley in “Conclusion,” Arthur leaps out of the carriage and immediately requests Mr. Markham’s approval and continued presence. The first voice Gilbert hears from the coach is that of Arthur, who declares “Mamma, mamma, here’s Mr. Markham.” 29 When it seems that Gilbert is reluctant to enter, Arthur, sensing the possibility of the disappearance of his long-lost father figure, demands that he enter, “running round from the other door; and seizing [Gilbert’s] hand in both his.” 30 He proudly informs Gilbert that he is now seven, then drags him into the coach. Arthur cannot bear life alone with his mother, which leads him to do everything in his power to recover the man from which his mother last stole him away. Although The Tenant of Wildfell Hall indirectly deconstructs Helen’s character rather than directly, the approach is similar to that of Agnes Grey. Both novels animalize characters to the point that they are capable of neither grasping human morality nor making rational choices. In both cases, the animalization problematizes strong female characters, characters that many critics hail as feminist icons, which causes the reader to question the entire premises of the novels. 28 Bronte Tenant, 29. 29 Ibid., 476. 30 Ibid., 477.
