Why do you like the story of David Copperfield?

Answer 1

Although all his books contain some element of his own life, David Copperfield is considered the most autobiographical of all Dickens's books. As foreshadowed by the first sentence of the book ("Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life . . . ") the book seems to provide a purification and at the same time an ownership of his own history. It tells the story of a young man maturing through a series of trials that mirror, in many ways, Dickens's own misfortunes. Both Dickens and the character David worked in factories under duress; both fell in love with a pretty but empty-headed girl before marrying a more mature and stable woman. And at the end, David did what he wanted and turned out to be a successful writer.

Answer 2

Critics generally agree that David Copperfield was the most autobiographical of Dickens' books. It is, of course, pure speculation, but it could be that Dickens' loved the book because he was able to expunge some personal devils and then write his own happy ending.

Answer 3
