Dickens’ David Copperfield: The Wealth of Goodness in Human Nature
Mitchell Kalpakgian
In Dickens’ novels the problems of suffering in the form of poverty, tragedy, and injustice receive their greatest relief from simple, humble, lowly characters with kind, compassionate, and charitable hearts—not from wealthy benefactors, social agencies, or doles from government welfare.
