child characters ( Oliver Twist, Tiny Tim, David Copperfield)
His father was imprisoned because of debt and his family became very poor. Later on
Dickens became rich He wrote about greed and debt and about rags to riches (to rags)
He brings to light the political and economic oppression suffered by the poor, greatly
critisizes the society and politics with the use of sarcasm
Dickens symphatizes with the poor and implies that their woes result from society's
unfairness not their own failings
Wealthy people are mostly pictured harsh, selfish, cruel and heartless
,,Subdue your appetites,
my dears, and you've
conquered human nature."
