Analysis of Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is a writer that is expected to choose the names of his characters to match their personalities. One could even explain them being innocent atrocious or even inattentive. Take Thomas Grandgrind for instance, he is a man of realism a hard teacher that worked his students like machines hoping to produce some graduates. Then there is Mr. M'Choakumchild, he is a very atrocious man , some say he even look like an ogre. So now we move onto Cecilia Jupe aka Sissy Jupe.

I guess you could say that it could be youth vs. age and predicts that whom-ever is being singled out (Sissy Jupe) will at break away from this dictator and others will be less triumphant like Bitzer.

When he said “horses” and the “carpeted flowers” which was to symbolize her kindness and youth. Dickens is not squabbling against education or progress. He is fighting against the approach that the grad grinding, and mind numbing tends to take the fun out of life. Knowing that Dickens had read and love Arabian Knights as a child, we could see a little of his life story in this scene. So closing lets think, that if Dickens was actually taught by someone like his character Mr.
