Abstract
First paragraph: Dickens created some of the best-known characters in fiction. The likes of Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist and David Copperfield are still well-remembered, 150 years after his death ¨C and are regularly updated through new stage and screen adaptions. One of the reasons why his characters have become part of popular culture is Dickens¡¯s ability to exaggerate and caricature but at the same time also deeply understand human character.
