3.2 David Copperfield as Charles Dicken’s Undoubted Masterpiece
In 1849-1850 Charles Dickens’s undisputed work David Copperfield appeared for most readers.The novel is partly based on the writer’s early career; There were not many people who were in the realm of mystery – though that little David was in many ways close to Charles Dickens in his comparative age.The novel was very popular; it is one of the greatest novels in English and one of the works of Dickens, whose popularity never faded.
3.3The Story of the Novel:At A Glance

3.4 Dicken’s Sentimentality in the Novel
The best attack on Dickens’ sentimentality is advanced in Kingsmill Lunn’s (1990) book, Sentimental Journey.At work Dickens, his feelings became more maudlin as he got worse as he got older, and his character rotted so much that he finally left his wife for Ellen Ternan.In response to this charge, Earle Davies (1990) convincingly shows us in the study of Dickens ’art.
Artistically it is completely wrong.Dickens was still sentimental when he died, but from David Copperfield on, his novels show more restraint and control of the means by which he appealed to tears.His characters weep less and less.Furthermore, it would be very difficult to criticize him for mawkish sentimentality in the latter half of his career on the basis of his death scenes.
In David Copperfield, for example, Dora dies and her death affects David as any reader will admit that it should.But Dora had never been described as a majestic angel, like Little Nell.She was in some measure human, with weaknesses which contribute to her normality.David, as he waits for Agnes to come back from the death chamber, wonders.Would it, indeed, have been better if we had loved each other as a boy and a girl, and forgotten it.(David Copperfield, p.67).Since in real life he had never married the prototype of Dora, this question is illuminating.And yet, when Dora dies, Jep (the dog) dies too.There is sentiment present, of course, but it cannot be accurately described as weak or mawkish.
3.5 The Portrayal of the Personal Life and Marriage in the Novel
A novel about the personal life of David Copperfield.Through which Dickens proclaims the value of personal experience, a person’s personal freedom, his right to personal freedom, the happy satisfaction of private interests, and the possibility of a mature relationship with others.It is not won without difficulty, and, as Emily and Endell once exemplified, “freedom” seems to be completely dependent on men whose women have a particular difficulty.
David Copperfield describes David’s maturity, but he also deals with the subject of marriage.David has some features of Tom Jones.His apprenticeship was devoted to preparing him for a life of family happiness.Henry Fielding does not discuss the question of how to achieve this happiness.The beauty and virtue of Sophia is a guarantee of a successful marriage.Dickens is aware of the human complexities that go beyond this simple view.David’s first marriage to Dora Spenlow is unhappy because it is not a marriage of mind and purpose.
David Copperfield will be rumored to have an unhappy personal relationship, with a bad marriage and enough grandparents.Mr. Mother’s second marriage.Murdstone was fatal; Her aunt Betsey Trotwood married a man who spent her fortune, broke her heart, became a bigamist, a adventurer, gambler and cheater. Dr. Strong, the supernatural master of David's second school discovers that his relatives married a much younger woman for their own mercenary purposes; Mr.'s marriageand Mrs. Mikber is a tragicomic game between indifference and arbitrariness; even his wife, Traddlz, who was devoted to him, had to overcome the demands of his extended family.It also expresses the pain and unhappiness of David’s marriage to Dora, but has not been fully explored.conditionally declining, he dies and always leaves the way for Agnes Wickfield, David’s true love.
