Paper Summary:

In this paper, the author looks at two of Charles Dickens' famous books,"David Copperfield" and "Great Expectations". The author starts the paper with a study of Dickens' life and his early childhood using this in his analysis of the books that Dickens wrote, looking at the characters portrayed as a reflection of the life that Dickens had.The paper concludes with the statement that Dickens started writing novels that ridiculed the ruling classes based on his experiences and observations.

From the Paper:

"In an even more autobiographical reference, David's last stop in his youth is Dover, where he lives with his father's sister, Betswet Trotwood who lives with her crazy cousin Mr. Dick. David takes to Mr. Dick right off, and again, David is happy. This is similar to Dickens' own experiences. As a boy, Dickens lived with his aunt after his father was sent to prison. David is then sent to live with the Wickfield family, which includes old Mr. Wickfield who is well off, but an alcoholic, businessman; his daughter Agnes who is David's age, and the clerk Uriah Heep.
