Asked in Charles Dickens
How are music and literature related?
Music and literature are linked in many ways. They both involve
a great amount of creativity and imagination. Also, literature
often has served as an inspiration for many composers such as
Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev who have composed inspired by Romeo and
Juliet. Mozart's Marriage of Figaro was inspired by a French play.
Also worth noting, musical works such as operas and ballets require
the writing of librettos and thus literary competence and
imagination is an important part to a successful opera or ballet.
Finally, music and literature are related through the importance
that structure and emotional appeal have in both fields. Music
needs to make an audience feel a certain emotion to have a desired
effect as does literature. This is how music and literature are
related.

Asked by Harley Cassin in Charles Dickens
Was Charles Dickens really paid by the word?
Although this theory would explain why his novels tend to be rather...dense, it’s not true.
Dickens published most of his novels serially, meaning one section would be printed and sold each month, and he was paid for each one of these installments. For his first full-length novel, The Pickwick Papers, that meant 19 monthly installments at 32 pages each (except the last, which was a special “double issue”), and Dickens got paid each time he turned in 32 pages of text.
So, even though he wasn’t paid for each word, what is true is that he had a monetary incentive to make his novels longer, and honestly, I don’t blame him.

Asked in Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
Does pip and Estella get together in the end?
Yes and no. It depends what version of the book you have,
because there are some that provide alternate endings; one with Pip
& Estella together, and one that does not. This is most likely
because of the high demand of a happier ending by Dickens' readers
and possibly by a friend of Dickens. The original, sad ending might
have been replaced by Dickens' edited ending in some editions. But
the two endings are for the readers to decide whether Pip and
Estella truly belong together.

Asked in Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
Who is the spider in the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens by Charles Dickens?
This is the nickname for Bentley Drummle, which Jaggers had
created. Drummle is probably called a spider because he lures
unsuspecting prey into his web of jealousy, leaving the prey
disoriented and upset (such as Pip). Had Pip seen Drummle before
Estella's wedding, he probably would have had a devilish grin on
his face just as much as a satisfied spider would.

Asked in Personal Finance, Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Business Plans, Charles Dickens
What are some good plans that could be considered when you repay debts for your business?
Well it seems like you are asking how you should go about
repaying debts for your business correct? First and foremost, you
should take care of any debts you owe where you loaned money. Those
tend to have the highest interest rates which means the longer you
delay paying it off, the more you'll end up owing at the end.
Second, you can pay off any debt that you may have racked up on
credit cards because once again there is interest on your business
credit card as well. However, the principle interest on credit
cards is usually lower than that from a loan so I would take that
route.
I don't understand what you are asking.. What do you mean?
