"David? Copperfield is the masterpiece of Dickens, a British critical realist in the19th century. In this novel with a strong autobiographical color, Dickens borrowed "Little David's own history and experience" to review and summarize his life path from many aspects, reflecting his life philosophy and moral ideal.

David? Copperfield's father died before he was born. On the day he was born, his father was menstruating, and his aunt came here specially. Because she had long hoped that her nephew's daughter-in-law could give birth to a girl, she left very disappointed when she saw it was a boy. After David was born, he lived with his mother and maid Peggotty. They poured all their love into him, and these days are quiet and happy.

Soon, a businessman named Maud Si Tong took a fancy to David's mother's meager wealth and coaxed her into falling in love with sweet words. David's mother asked David to stay with Peggotty's brother for a while before he got married. Mr. Peggotty is a poor boatman. He lives in a house converted from a broken boat by the Yarmouth sea. Instead of marrying himself, he adopted a pair of orphans: his sister's daughter Emily and his brother's son lived in harmony-both their parents died at sea. Mr. Peggotty led them to live together in love. This strange family and the warmth and kindness that David felt here left a deep impression on his young mind.

Two weeks later, David came home and found that Mr Maud Si Tong had married his mother. The gentleman changed his attitude before marriage and forbade David's mother to love David as before. Since his mother was born weak, David's situation has changed greatly. His stepfather was very cruel to him and tortured him in every way. David once bit his hand when he was whipped by his stepfather. So he imprisoned David for five days and sent him to a boarding school. David suffered humiliation and destruction in this school. At first, the headmaster obeyed Maud Si Tong's brother and sister's wishes and hung a sign on him with the words "Be careful of him, he bites". Later, he endured the whipping of the headmaster many times. This is the beginning of David's life.

School is the epitome of society. David began to understand the cruelty of the money world here. The best teacher in the school, Mr. Maier, was abused by the children of rich people because of poverty, and even kicked out of school. This cruel fact greatly shocked David.

David's mother was finally tortured to death, and David was called home from school. Maud Si Tong sent him to a company as a child worker washing bottles and put him in Mr Micawber's house. Mr. Micawber is a small clerk, with many children at home and a hard life. This gentleman is full of plans to get rich, but no matter what he does, he always fails. He owed more and more debts, and finally the whole family lived in a debt prison. David can't even fill his stomach with the money he earned as a child laborer, but he feels that the Micawbers are worse off than him, so he is very sympathetic to the family. At this time, David was only 10 years old, but he worried about them all day and tried to travel around. He and the Micawber family formed a very deep friendship. Later, the Micawbers wanted to leave London to make a living, so David decided to run away from home to find his only relative in the world-Aunt Bessie.

Along the way, David went through a lot of hardships. Shortly after he set out on the road, his suitcase and the money borrowed from Peggotty were robbed, so he had to sell his clothes one by one. He walked a long way completely on his legs and finally found his aunt. My aunt is eccentric and strict in appearance, but she is kind and generous in heart. My aunt resolutely took David in and sent him to Dr. Strong's school in London for a good education. At first, David was at the bottom of the school because of his poor academic performance. He studied hard, and within a few months, he surpassed several classmates and finally came out on top.

When he was a student, David stayed with his aunt's lawyer, Wickfield. Wickfield's daughter Ennis is about the same age as David, and they get along well. Mr wickfield hired a secretary named heep. This is a mean and hypocritical villain, and David hates him very much.

When David/Kloc-graduated at the age of 0/7, menstruation asked him to take a short trip first, and then choose a job calmly. David met his childhood classmate Steerforth on the trip. This is a charming but domineering rich boy. David admires and likes his handsomeness and intelligence. Steerforth accompanied David to see the Peggotts. At this time, Emily has grown into a beautiful girl, and she has just been engaged to Harmony. But unexpectedly, after seeing Emily, Steerforth had a bad intention. He seduced Emily step by step and finally cheated her away. They eloped to a foreign country.

After the trip, David returned to London and chose a career as a lawyer. My aunt took out her savings and found him a trainee position in Spenlow Law Firm. Soon, David and Dora, the daughter of Spenlow's lawyer, fell in love at first sight and soon got engaged in secret. Just as they were madly in love, my aunt suddenly went bankrupt. In order to reduce menstruation's financial burden, David got a job as a secretary and learned shorthand. He soon became a journalist and started writing at the same time.

David's writing is a success. He married Dora at the age of 2 1 and established their small family. But after getting married, he found that Dora was too naive, too ignorant, completely ignorant of life, and knew nothing, just like a delicate flower. David's persuasion made her panic and nervous. She always feels that she is far behind David. David also feels that "I always lack something in this happiness."

Mr Micawber, David's landlord when he was a child laborer, was later forced to make a living by Mr wakefield's secretary, Shipra, who asked him to participate in a plot to frame and deceive wakefield. Micawber could not bear the reproach of conscience, and finally told the truth and produced one piece of evidence. Heep had to confess. Wakefield got rid of Heep's control and found his lost property. Not only that, but also found that menstruation's bankruptcy was also caused by Heep. So Heep was forced to return all her aunt's investments.

With David's help, Mr Peggotty finally found Emily who was abandoned by Steerforth at first. After that, Mr. Peggotty took Emily and the Micawber family to Australia, where they started a new life.

David has become more and more famous because of his constant publication, and now he has become a famous writer. But Dora was seriously ill, getting weaker and weaker and finally passed away. David decided to travel abroad very sadly. He wandered abroad for three years. For three years, he has been writing while traveling, and has kept in touch with Ennis for three years. Ennis's concern and trust helped him overcome his mental difficulties again. He thinks Ennis is really the "lucky dog" in his destiny. After returning home, they finally got married. On the wedding day, Ennis told David that Dora asked Ennis to fill the vacancy before she died.

After David and Ennis got married, my aunt and maid Peggotty also lived with them. Everyone feels extremely happy.

Character appreciation

(1) David? Copperfield:

David? Copperfield is David? The hero in Copperfield was once an orphan. The writer described the process of his growth from an orphan to a bourgeois democratic writer with humanitarian spirit. He is kind, sincere, intelligent, studious, with self-improvement courage, indomitable perseverance and enterprising spirit, full of confidence in adversity, redoubled efforts in prosperity, and finally achieved career success and family happiness. Dickens' moral ideal is pinned on this character.

2 "David? Female images in Copperfield;

In Dickens' works, David? Copperfield created vivid characters, and each task left a deep impression on people, especially successfully created female images with different personalities and virtues: Aunt Bessie, Ennis, Peggotty, Clara, Dora, Miss Maud Si Tong, Lady Micawber, Emily ... Comparison between Aunt Bessie and Miss Maud Si Tong, Clara, Dora and Ennis.

Miss Maud Si Tong, David's childhood disaster and stepfather's sister, is extremely cold and cruel. From the moment she appeared, her character was established: her face was gloomy, her skin was dark, her voice was masculine, her two heavy eyebrows were connected, and the steel wallet clicked when it was closed, as if she were biting someone hard. In Dickens' works, inanimate things become alive, and she dresses up with steel handcuffs and rivets, which are the portrayal of this cold-blooded steel woman's character. Miss Maud Si Tong is a real man and woman. She hates men, but she has a man's face She doesn't have the tenderness, love and sympathy of a woman. She and her brother have been torturing poor Clara. They regard David as a thorn in their side and torture David by various means, causing David's childhood pain. Later, Dora's gloomy shadow appeared in her home.

Aunt Bessie is similar to Miss Maud Si Tong in some respects, but they are different in essence: Aunt Bessie is eccentric and she is very sensitive to donkeys. Passing the donkey on the front lawn is the most angry thing in her life. She is maverick, dare to say and do, regardless of the secular vision, slightly masculine and rational, but Aunt Bessie is loving, kind, kind, soft-hearted and affectionate. Although she hated boys, after David defected to her, she took David in and scolded Maud Si Tong's brothers and sisters heartily. Her teaching to David: never humble, never hypocritical, never cruel, which can be the motto of a person's standing and acting. Under her care, David grew up healthily and became a famous writer. Aunt Bessie pitied Dick, took him in, appreciated him and gave him a comfortable life. She is Jenny's guardian and also supervises others, educates them and teaches them to protect themselves. She loves Dora very much, doesn't dislike her at all, and gives her a lovely name: Xiaohua.

Aunt Bessie still has not forgotten her husband. Even if he abandoned her and found another lover and became a homeless man with nothing, she would give it to Aunt Bessie as long as he asked for money. Although threatened by him, it also shows that Aunt Bessie is affectionate and righteous. Aunt Bessie is a very smart and capable woman. She knows a lot about business activities. When she went bankrupt, she concealed 2000 pounds of property. She did this on purpose, in order to cultivate David, so that he can learn to adapt to difficulties, overcome difficulties and shoulder the heavy responsibility of life. I gave David a good exercise during that time, and I proved my ability with my own efforts, which was worthy of Aunt Bessie's painstaking efforts. Aunt Bessie is eccentric and eccentric, but she is respectable and trustworthy.

Clara and Dora are also very similar. They are all young, beautiful, naive, naive and kind. The difference between them is that:

Clara's fate is even more tragic. Her husband died after only one year of marriage. The second husband, Maud Si Tong, was a cold, greedy and cruel businessman. He married Clara purely for money, but the naive Clara didn't realize it. Coupled with the torture of Miss Maud Si Tong, she lost any freedom, even the right to love her children. Finally, she died tragically in sadness, loneliness and fear, but she didn't. However, Clara is more than just a doll. She has knowledge and insight, and can teach herself David. She can also look after the house. She also has a good servant and friend-Peggotty.

Dora is very happy. David loved her so much, held it in his hand and put it in his heart, and Aunt Bessie loved her, too. However, Dora herself was disappointing. She is nothing but one advantage-beauty, and in David's eyes. She is illusory and blind, unrealistic, has no practical ability to live and has no experience. She is just a lovely doll. She made a mess at home, but she didn't want to make progress and didn't want to correct it. It is hard to imagine how such a person can win the love of so many people.

Ennis is my favorite person. She is almost impeccable in appearance, morality, knowledge and thought. She is beautiful and dignified, generous and decent, gentle and kind, quiet and steady, considerate and thoughtful, with keen insight, strong personality and will, and tolerant and caring heart. She is David's spiritual pillar and a beautiful angel, and anyone will be extremely proud of having such a bosom friend. Ennis has been his father's housekeeper and spiritual comfort since childhood. Because of her love for her father, she matured prematurely and assumed the responsibility of taking care of her father. For the sake of her father, she had to please Heep, a despicable person, but she would never give in to Heep, nor would she let Heep's sinister purpose succeed. Although Ennis doesn't have much contact with Steve, she can see the danger of him around David from every little thing. Her insight is keen, and compared with David's emotional worship of Steve, Ennis is rational. Ennis's love for David is deep and lasting. She has been silently in love with David, but David is slow to respond and blind in the pursuit of love. "Guagua is not sweet." "The biggest difference between husband and wife is disagreement." Mrs strong's words caused a stir in David's heart. After Dora's death, after many difficulties and years of overseas experience, David finally understood his love for Ennis. They got married, and their love was built on rocks. Blind love doesn't last long, and long-flowing love is indestructible. Ennis is David's ideal companion, both in career and life.

In David's growing experience, there is another person who can't help but mention Peggotty, David's old wet nurse. She is also an amazing woman. Childhood David grew up happily with her care and company, and adult David still received her meticulous care. Peggotty was loyal to David's mother and son. She is both a servant and a relative. After David was beaten black and blue by his stepfather, she was locked in her room and her mother was afraid to see him. Only Peggotty comforted him along the keyhole. No matter where she is, she always takes care of David, and her family will always have David's place. Her love for David is so sincere and simple, and her heart is kind. All her kind and simple people are also capable of doing housework and are in good order.

In addition, Mr. Peggotty, who is kind and simple in love, Ham, who is hardworking and honest, has a golden heart, Mr. and Mrs. Micawber, who are displaced by life but optimistic and cheerful, and Mr. Trade, who are kind and simple, are in sharp contrast with the greedy and cold Maud Si Tong brother and sister, the sinister villain Heep and the treacherous and sinister dude Steve, making beauty more beautiful and ugly. Hamm's death is completely different from Stepford's. Stepford's death is the retribution for his treachery, and Hamm is the highest embodiment of Dickens' humanitarian ideal of fraternity and tolerance.

Characteristic description

David? Copperfield is a typical kind, caring, honest, diligent, pragmatic and enterprising intellectual. David lost his father when he was a child, and his mother remarried and died after being abused by her stepfather. He was sent to a boarding school and was badly hit. Later, he was sent to a factory as an apprentice. Being humiliated, he left the factory and went to his aunt's house. My aunt raised him to study law. His character matured in hardships and setbacks, and finally embarked on the right path of life. Later, she became a writer and married her beloved girlfriend. In his tortuous life, although there have been wrong thoughts, absurd behaviors, sad moments and depressed days, his aunt's words "never be mean and selfish, never be hypocritical and cruel" have become his motto. Both the hardships and bitterness he encountered as an orphan and his indomitable struggle as an adult show the painful course of a little person seeking a way out in capitalist society. After experiencing great suffering, David tasted the happiness and warmth of the world. He relied on his sincere and straightforward personality, positive spirit and pure and friendly heart towards people.

Agnes is also an ideal woman that the author tries to beautify. She has both external beauty and internal virtue, insisting on protecting her father who was bullied by Heep and supporting David who suffered setbacks. The final combination between her and David is "the consistency of thought and purpose", and this perfect marriage makes the ending of the novel full of happiness and hope.

Micawber was David's landlord when he was a child laborer, and later became David's best friend. He was imprisoned several times because he was unable to pay his debts. He is naturally vain, extravagant, unrealistic and unwilling to keep his feet on the ground. He is often heavily in debt. When he was imprisoned in Sedeke's Queen's Court for debts, he warned David: "If a person receives 20 pounds a year and spends 19 pounds 19 shillings and 6 pence, he will be happy, but if he spends 20 pounds 1 shilling, he will suffer." After such painful regret, he immediately borrowed a shilling from David to buy beer and became happy again. He is really an optimist. In addition, he has a kind and upright side. When he was working as a secretary for Heep, he stood up after a fierce ideological struggle and exposed Heep's plot to frame Mr. wakefield, which led to Miss Betsy's bankruptcy. Miss Bessie thanked him and sponsored him to go to Australia, where he had a successful career and a good ending. Micawber's image is very distinct, especially his character of "not worrying about debts and being happy in know life", which makes him a typical literary figure. Even as a word, "Micawber" is accepted in general English dictionaries, which shows the success of this characterization and its great influence.
