Charles Dickens Reflection on Society in Hard Times, Oliver Twist, Nic

Charles hellion Reflection on Society in Hard Times, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, and David CopperfieldIn this essay I will be examining how and why Dickens chose to commenton the society in which he lived through his novels. I will beexamining Hard Times, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickelby and DavidCopperfield.Charles Dickens was considered to be unitary of the greatest Englishnovelists during the straightlaced period, and during this period,novelists had a tradition of commenting on issues affecting societythrough their work. They chose to express their views like this so throng would realise exactly what is taking place in the town orvillage they are living in.Charles Dickens had a very disturbing childhood, members of his familywere move to prison and he was sent to work at the age of twelve in aBlacking Factory he became miserable. He escaped from this by writingfictional texts in school he then developed his existing skills andmade rapid progress. From the entire trauma he went through, he dogged to express his pain through his record books.The reading system was extremely poor. Only children with workingparents would be educated, whereas poorer children would have to work.In the novel Hard Times, the education system was firm, harsh andsternQuadruped. GraminivorousAge known by marks in mouth.This straight-to-the-point definition of a horse suggests that theteacher spoon-feeds the young, tender, innocent children with uselessfacts. The word Graminivorous highlights that these children arebeing turned into adults mentally because he fed the innocentchildren with facts that adults will normally know. Everything is sosimplified for him, the teacher does... ... was irony that Dickens employ here theword parlour suggests that it is a pleasant home but whats going oninside is totally the opposite.In conclusion, Dickens has use his works successfully to comment onsociety because all of the issues that were affecting all classes ofpeople, he included the m so we could really understand what went onduring the Victorian times. I have learnt a lot from this, about howpeople lived and how they were treated. I have learnt that these twoperiods of time were totally different to each other. The novel thathad the roughly impact on me was Nicholas Nickelby this is becauseDickens made us feel sympathetic for the characters, he made me feelas if I was there as one of the characters because this novel was soconvincing. I really felt a lot of sympathy for the children who hadto suffer from this inhumane cruelty.
