【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ature Review of the Novel Some scholars’ views on the novel Scholars believe that David Copperfield＇s careers, friendships, and love life were most highly influenced by Dickens＇ experiences, as well as his time working as a child. David＇s involvement with the law profession and later his career as a writer mirror the experiences of Dickens. Many of David＇s friends are based on people Dickens actually knew, and David＇s wives, Agnes Wickfield and Dora, are believed to be based upon Dickens＇ attachment to Mary Hogarth. Dickens keenly felt his lack of education during his time at that factory, and according to the Forster biography, it was from these times that he drew David＇s working period. British writer Somerset Maugham as “truly a masterpiece of literary works“. One of American literature connoisseurs remends one hundreds of the 20th century, distinguishing English novel. “David Copperfield is filled with characters of the most astonishing variety, vividness, and originality,“ noted Somerset Maugham. “They are not realistic and yet they abound with life. There never were such people as the Micawbers, Pegotty and Barkis, Traddles, Betsey Trotwood and Mr. Dick, Uriah Heep and his mother. The story is told almost entirely from the point of view of the first person narrator, David Copperfield himself, and was the first Dickens novel to do based the book in part on the difficult early years of his own life. Main Views of Dickens’ idea Influenced by Carlyle, Dickens learned, as did his literary contemporaries, to direct his fiction to a questioning of social priorities and inequalities, to a distrust of institutions, particularly defunct or malfunctioning ones, and to a pressing appeal for action and earnestness. He was prone to take up issues, and to campaign against what he saw as injustice or desuetude, using fiction as his vehicle. He was not alone in this in his own time, but his name continues to be popularly associated with good causes and with remedies for social abuses because he was quite the wittiest, and he have had the most persuasive, and the most influential voice. Dickens was faithful to the teaching, and to the general theological framework, of Christianity as a moral basis for his thought, his action and above all, for his writing, nevertheless. A critical awareness that there was something deeply wrong with the society in which he lived sharpened the nature of his fiction and gave it its distinct political edge. Dickens’ novels are multifarious, digressive and humorous. In an important way, they reflect the nature of Victorian urban society with all its conflicts and disharmonies, its eccentricities and its constrictions, its energy and its extraordinary fertility, both physical and intellectual. But the standard pattern in his novels is the basic conflict between money on the one hand, and loves on the other. What this conflict usually reveals is that the people who have greatest love for their fellow humans are also the ones who are most hurt by the world of money, simply because money is power. In his novels, the people who possess most money and most power seem incapable of love, whereas the people who are capable of love are very often both poor and powerless. And yet, this gloomy view is counteracted by Dickens’ ic way of dealing with his characters. Chapter 3 The Image of main character in David Copperfield The image of David Unyielding and diligence of David Copperfield David Copperfield is a kindhearted love, integrity, and hard work, pragmatic and progressive intellectuals typically.

Innocence of David Copperfield. David fell in love with Little Emily when they pany each other in the days in Yarmouth. The affection was the most feelings for a child. David “l(fā)oved that baby quite as truly, quite as tenderly with great purity than can enter into the best love of a later time of life”. Neither of them did not worry about the future or any other troubles at that time. The best was love in that they were innocent.
