Dickens - Coggle Diagram

- - - - "Nothing but facts"
        
        Dickens shows how education was like during the victorian era, in the passage the teacher is described as being strict and his teaching methods being all about fact because that was what was believed to be useful for the future.
        
        The children in this passage are alienated and described as being passive in this situation. Also children were exploited and abused both in school and in workhouses.
    - - --> London
    - - Dickens criticises the upper class by indirectly writing about them and their behaviour in his novels. Once the upper class read about it they didn't realise that it was about them, so they also criticised the characters that were based on them.
        
        This is an example of Dickens irony in his works.
    - - Workhouses=were factories in which the poorer classes were exploited and used in exchange for food and accommodation.
        
        “Oliver Twist”
        
        Oliver is an orphaned boy who lives in a workhouse. The novel talks about how the children in that workhouse were physically beaten and denied food as punishment. He eventually gets kicked out because he asked for more food.
  - - - This is due to all the success they had during it.
        
        For example many railways and canals were built that helped the transportation field develop a lot.
        
        This all meant that England became richer and richer. On the other hand, one of the down sides of industrialization was the fact that the working class was exploited and the poor become poorer whilst the rich become richer.
  - - - London during the victorian age had people from all social classes, the poor,the working middle class and even the very rich upper class.
- - - - (like grotesque or humorous exaggeration)
      - which sometimes led to his characters being called shallow, when in reality he was describing their true nature. He starts building more complex characters in his last works.
  - - - This enabled him to grow a bigger audience due to the fact that many people couldn't afford to buy full books.
      - Dickens managed to keep his readers’ attention by having a similar structure for all his chapters and by using melodramatic elements and climaxes so that his readers’ unterest would stay and they would buy more chapters.
  - - - Humor and Grotesque register
      - Hyperbols
      - Repetition
        
        Dickens uses a lot of repetition to create redundancies and also to show the audience how repetitive the working class’ lives were in “Hard Times”
