Dickens’s life is the backbone for David’s
story. Illustarte/ David Copperfied as an Autobiographical novel
Charles Dickens’ novels consequently, seem
autobiographical and David Copperfield is the most autobiographical. It is also
said that Dickens often dipped his pen in his own blood. this is true to a
large extent that David Copperfield’s experiences are Dickens’ experiences to a
large extent. About this book David Copperfield, Dickens himself wrote:
“I have in my heart of hearts a favourite
child. And his name is David Copperfield,” and “my interest in it was so recent
and strong that I was in danger of wearying the reaseer with personal
confidence and private emotions.”
The first factor that makes a novel
autobiographical is the identity of the persons who people it. That David, the
hero is Dickens himself is manifest from many incidents and feelings. It is characteristic
that he begins this novel as a narration in the first person.
Moreover, the suffering, struggles and
achievements of David and situations and incidents surrounding him can be
traced in many ways to those of Dickens himself..........................................
