Characters

Dickens chiefly created caricatures, trying to attract interest by describing the characters, habits, and language of the middle 848b12i and lower, often the very lowest, classes in modern London, like lodging - house keepers, shopkeepers, petty tradesmen, whose social peculiarities, vanity and paltry ambition he ridiculed freely, though without sarcasm. He was always on the side of the poor, the outcast, and also the working class, and shifted the social frontiers of the novel.
