Charles Dickens/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Fair for Its Day]]:

** Dickens indulged heavily on broad caricatures, often modeled after stereotypes of his age. This led to some rather insensitive characterizations. The most famous is perhaps Fagin, the [[Greedy Jew]]. However, Dickens was actually a pretty progressive person for his time, and his characters were designed for comedy or social commentary rather than bigotry.
