The essay delves into Dickens's personal experiences, early influences, and the various social themes addressed in his works, providing readers with insights into both the man and the myth surrounding his legacy. "At the start of the essay, the author explores Dickens's early life, focusing on his formative years in Chatham and his family's struggles after moving to London."
