About This Novel
The theme of "David Copperfield" is very clear: the powerful bully the weak and helpless. The powerless also bully the weak and helpless. The author Dickens focused his writing on orphans, women and mentally ill patients in order to deeply explore this profound theme. At that time, Britain was in the so-called "industrial age". Not only did society show no mercy and sympathy to orphans, women and the mentally ill, but it also exploited them as much as possible. Dickens wrote about his tragic childhood experiences to tell readers about the various inhumanities and injustices in society towards child labor. Dickens describes in detail the private prisons set up by creditors to hold debtors. Many characters in the novel have suffered harsh punishments from their creditors, although Dickens sympathetically points out that not all creditors are bad. The most moving part of the novel is the description of the scenes in which innocent people suffer a tragic fate.
