Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations": Original Versus Contemporary Ending
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Bowing to the demands of social pressure, Charles Dickens was coerced into establishing a more dismal ending for his classic "Great Expectations" than he had originally intended. That Pip and Estella have any kind of a future together at the end of the more modern version is, too, what had ultimately transpired through social pressure of a different sort. Contemporary versions of Dickens' timeless tale have suffered the same fate as the original text, in that the endings were construed by means of public persistence to reflect a more accurate portrayal of reality. In Dickens' era, it would not have been prudent for the author to allow Pip and Estella to overcome their challenges and enjoy a life together. In modern times, however, people clamor for a happier ending as a means by which to demonstrate the ever-present sense of hope. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Charles Dickens’ “Hard Times” as a Satiric Novel
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing Dickens’ “Hard Times” as a satiric novel. British author Charles Dickens (1812-1870) wrote his satiric novel “Hard Times” in 1854 in serial form from April 1 to August 12 in the magazine “Household Words”. During the publication of the series, the magazine’s popularity and circulation doubled thus providing a forum through which Dickens could portray the horrid conditions of the life in factory towns in England and Europe. The satirical elements and characters throughout the novel highlight the contrasts within England during the industrial revolution as while the rich and educated within the country portrayed and believed that England (and Europe) was advanced in regards to its scientific and industrial revolution in addition to the superiority of the education of its people and its “rational” thought, most of the countrymen actually lived in squalor, were poorly treated and more so, were poorly educated (Alexander, 2003). Dickens successfully manages to combine, contrast and create an interplay of tension between the satiric characters and stories of Gradgrind and Bounderby with those who receive the sympathy of the readers, necessary for the characterization and moral development expected within a novel, in the characters and stories of Sissy Jupe and Stephen Blackpool. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Charles Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities” and the Hidden Courage and Conviction of Common People
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses “A Tale of Two Cities” from the perspective that it was the circumstances that made life so difficult that were also the conditions that allowed individuals the conviction and courage to move beyond ordinary action making it the “best of times and the worst of times.” While the book serves as an example of the inequities in society that lead to revolution and the virtually impenetrable barrier that exists between the “haves” and “have-nots,” it also acts as a means through which Dickens expresses the fact that at some point in the life of even a “disappointed drudge,” an opportunity presents itself through which a person may rise to a greater level of compassionate action than even he or she would have thought possible. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
