Briefly discuss the features of Charles Dickens’ works in terms of language and character portrayal.
In language, Dickens is often compared with Shakespeare for his adeptness with the vernacular and large vocabulary with which he brings out many a wonderful verbal picture of man and scene.Character-portrayal is the most distinguishing feature of his works. Among a vast range of various characters, marked out by some peculiarity in physical traits, speech or manner, are both types and individuals.These characters are impressive not only because they are true to life, but also because they are often larger than life.They are, in a way, the embodiments of human beings, with some particular features exaggerated and highlighted, exposed to the degree of extremity.
