Book III culminates as the book in which many characters are either exploited or exploiting. As might be expected of characters of a higher social status, they prey on those less fortunate to further their own agendas. As Keren mentions in her blog for Book II, the reader has previously encountered many characters exercising control over "weaker" characters. Now, that control has been taken to a new level as the characters use any means necessary in order to attain that which they desire. One instance of these exploitations occurs between Eugene Wrayburn and Jenny Wren's father (Mr. Dolls). In an attempt to locate Lizzie, Eugene admittedly, "by any means, fair or foul," (530) undertakes the task of finding the object of his affection. Following through on his promise, and much to the protest of his dear friend, Mr. Lightwood, Eugene proceeds to aid Mr. Dolls in becoming inebriated to such a point that the latter will confess to the young woman's whereabouts. Although the reader has seen Eugene expose his dominating egotism, this new obsession generates the disdainful behavior he exhibits in his resolve to possess the young woman. Bradley Headstone's intentions are quite in accordance with those of Eugene. He, too, seeks out the reticent Lizzie Hexam. And in doing so, like Eugene, Bradley manipulates the less fortunate Rogue Riderhood. Although Riderhood seeks him out, Bradley nonetheless takes full advantage of the opportunity to elicit information from the "honest man." Aware that Riderhood "was a bad man, and willing enough to be in his pay," and also aware of his previous connection with Lizzie, Bradley questions him on her whereabouts, knowing full well that his own intentions "were as bad as bad could be." (542). Like Eugene, his adversary, Bradley determines to employs any means necessary to the young Lady. The last case of exploitation is one that perplexes me, for I do not yet know who is exploiting whom. The triangle of Wegg, Venus, and Boffin is complicated indeed. No one is to be trusted as it seems false unions are being made. I believe Venus to be playing both sides at this point, using Wegg to exploit Boffin and vice versa, although I have yet to discover the motive behind his actions. I would presume money to be the pivotal cause of his actions, but I believe Venus to be driven by a more malicious force.
