Dickens’comedy still seems fresh, but it’s the dark and serious nature of his themes that make his novel seem surprisingly modern. And there is no more dominant theme in those novels than money.
In Dickens’ world, heroes and villains are obsessed with money, how to get it, what to do with it, and above all the terror of losing it. Huge fear of debt and poverty can be traced back to Dikcens’ own childhood. His father John Dickens was forever in debt and at one point endured the public shame of being sent to debtors’ prison. Charles was taken out of school at age 12 for sent to work in a shoe polish warehouse to feed his family, an experience haunted him for the rest of his life.
When he came to write David Copperfield, Dickens poured many of these feelings into the serial debtor, Mr. Micawber.
Now Mr. Micawber is such a brilliant character, I think we have this image of him from TV adaptations of being just a sort of gregarious, fat, rather optimistic chap, who even though he has no money, he’s always talking about his expectation that something is just around the corner, something is gonna turn up. It’s so different when you read the book, there are some much more sophisticated painful read, because Micawber can start off by being very affectionate and outgoing and full of high spirits and so to say there’s a genuine affection between him |
