David Copperfield (novel): Difference between revisions

[[David Copperfield]] is a story about a boy (the title character) growing up. His [[Adult Child]] mother Clara dies early on, leaving him in the care of Mr. Edward Murdstone, his [[Wicked Stepmother|evil stepfather]]. Murdstone in turn heartlessly turns little Davey out into the big bad world, first in a [[Boarding School of Horrors]] in which he's beaten up and humiliated on a regular basis, then to earn his own living in a factory. While navigating [[Victorian London]] at the tender age of ten or so, David boards with the Micawbers, a good-natured but completely irresponsible family who make him pawn the silver to buy supper and eventually end up in debtor's prison.
