what is the theme of charles dickens books


how are they all in common

Answer 1

Although the books differ in many ways, which is hardly surprising given that he wrote for 34 years, there are certain themes all this works have in common.

He was a decent, liberal man and was angered by the cruelty of much of Victorian society, towards the poor and children of all classes in particular. He was interested in education, sanitation and the poor man's right to be left alone with his pint - he had a peculiar hatred of the self-righteous and sanctimonious which he often depicted as members or ministers of various fringe evangelical sects. He thought religion should be quiet, sincere and decorous and objected to ranters, ostentatious funerals and professional philanthropists of all kinds although he himself supported many charities, people and causes.

Many of his books have campaigning themes or incidents - Oliver Twist about the harshness of the New Poor Law, Nicholas Nickleby about a system of "schools" in Yorkshire where parents basically abandoned unwanted boys, Bleak House about the law's delay, Little Dorrit about imprisonment for debt. This can, however be overstated since many books have no such theme - Our Mutual Friend or Tale of Two Cities.

He had a vivid imagination helped out by a comic trick of describing people as objects and objects as people. One character was memorably described as "having a long drab face, like a face in a tablespoon" or the dinner party where everyone is nameless just being called by their work "Boots, Brewer, Bar, Bishop and Physician", the snooty butler is called "The Analytical Chemist" from his air of knowing everything about the guests and not being impressed.

Dickens could be very funny but could lapse into sentimentality when trying to do tragedy.

PS His pen-name was Boz not Bozzo.

Answer 2

Darwinist's fail at step one. They deliberately skip over the real title of Darwin's book which is, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life." Darwin was a racist. Marx agreed with Darwin. Darwinists believe they originally came from a rock and the rock came from nothing. Dickens also wrote fiction but he was a partly reasonable man unlike Darwin. Like Darwin he was somewhat of a racist but not with the same diabolically sharp edge as what Darwin had. For example Dickens wanted to civilize what he called the "noble savages". He didn't want to kill them all.

Answer 4

He portrays the general socio-economics condition in the Victorian era. He is especially against the prosecution of the feeble and poor. Eg., the imprisonment of the debtors. Most of his famous characters are children who grow up to become themselves like david copperfield and oliver twist.

Answer 5

There is a word ("Dickensian") to describe his style.

His works are generally set in England in the late 18th and early 19th century in London. His novels often deal with the interaction of the various classes in English society, with plenty of satire and sentimentality mixed in. The abject poverty of the poor and powerless is often contrasted with upper class moral poverty, although most works will make a point of having good and evil elements in all parts of society.

Answer 6
