Like everyone, Dickens had both good and unplesant characteristics. He certainly wasn't perfect. He was stubborn and sometimes quick tempered. He often blamed others for the problems that he himself caused. The force of will that enabled him to succeed prevented him from taking an honest look at his own life. He tended to be imperious and demanding and many say, something of a peacock: he loved to wear flashy clothes. He sometimes ignored his own children, but he was incredibly unselfish in his charities and special causes. Among other things, he established a sort of half-way house for prostitutes, taking them from the streets and finding them jobs in rural areas, where they could be anonymous. He was a fascinating orator and talented actor. And we must infer that he was funny and entertaining.
