What kind of literary technique of atmosphere is in the novel David Copperfield?

Answer 1

according to:http://www.mc3.edu/aa/lal/workshops/LiteraryDefinitions.html literary atmosphere is the mood pervading a literary work, particularly created by the setting; helps establish the expectations and attitude of the reader. I am currently reading "David Copperfield" for school and I needed to describe the literary atmosphere, which is how I found this question. I would descibe the atmosphere as early life in Britain, showing the life of a posthumus boy who grew up with a bitter nanny, a loving mother, and an abusive stepfather. If autobiography is part of the atmosphere, I do not know. Vague as I was, I hope this helps someone!!

Answer 2

The novel "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens uses both pathetic fallacy and symbolism to create atmosphere. Dickens uses descriptions of weather and nature to reflect the emotional and physical states of the characters, setting a mood and tone for the narrative. Symbolism is also employed, with objects and settings representing deeper themes and emotions within the story.
