An Insight into the Diversity of Mr. Dick’s Roles in David Copperfield

Abstract

In David Copperfield, Mr. Dick has played a diversity of roles. He serves not only as a comic figure who brings absurdity and laughter to these harsh experiences, a representative of innocence in disguise of a mentally disabled man, but also as a necessary mental counselor and a domestic helper to others. By exploring those roles to their fullest Charles Dickens has created a unique character that is enchanting as well as complicated.
