Admittedly, it is not the primary interest of David Copperfield that remains above all the story of a life told by the very one who lived it, but the novel is imbued with a dominant ideology, that of the middle class, advocating moral constancy, hard work, separate spheres for men and women, and, in general, the art of knowing one's place, indeed staying in that place. Further, some social problems and repeated abuses being topical, Dickens took the opportunity to expose them in his own way in his fiction, and Trevor Blount, in his introduction to the 1966 edition Penguin Classics, reissued in 1985, devotes several pages to this topic.[87]

AArmando Iannucci le debemos, entre otros títulos, dos de las mejores series de humor político de la ficción televisiva contemporánea, 'The thick of it', una de las muestras más excelsas del sarcasmo británico, y 'Veep', su desopilante aproximación a las dinámicas políticas estadounidenses a través de la figura de una vicepresidenta ficticia, Selina Meyer, gloriosamente encarnada por Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Iannucci también ha llevado a cabo algunas incursiones en la gran pantalla que se mueven por un registro similar de comedia, como es el caso de su anterior trabajo, la sátira 'La muerte de Stalin' (2017). Con 'La increíble historia de David Copperfield', se distancia de su zona de confort para firmar una heterodoxa aproximación a uno de los grandes clásicos de Charles Dickens.
It is his aunt Betsey who, by her character, represents the struggle to find the right balance between firmness and gentleness, rationality and empathy. Life forced Betsey Trotwood to assume the role she did not want, that of a father, and as such she became, but in her own way, adept at steadfastness and discipline. From an initially culpable intransigence, which led her to abandon the newborn by denouncing the incompetence of the parents not even capable of producing a girl, she finds herself gradually tempered by circumstances and powerfully helped by the "madness" of her protege, Mr Dick. He, between two flights of kites that carry away the fragments of his personal history, and without his knowing it, plays a moderating role, inflecting the rationality of his protector by his own irrationality, and his cookie-cutter judgments by considerations of seeming absurdity, but which, taken literally, prove to be innate wisdom. In truth, Aunt Betsey, despite her stiffness and bravado, does not dominate her destiny; she may say she can do it, yet she cannot get David to be a girl, or escape the machinations of Uriah Heep any more than the money demands of her mysterious husband. She also fails, in spite of her lucidity, her clear understanding, of the love blindness of her nephew, to prevent him from marrying Dora and in a parallel way, to reconcile the Strongs. In fact, in supreme irony, it is once again Mr Dick who compensates for his inadequacies, succeeding with intuition and instinctive understanding of things, to direct Mr Micawber to save Betsey from the clutches of Heep and also to dispel the misunderstandings of Dr Strong and his wife Annie.[67]
The museum is not open to the public; tours are reserved for "colleagues, fellow magicians, and serious collectors".[45] Located in a warehouse at Copperfield's headquarters in Las Vegas, the museum is entered via a secret door in what was described by actor Hugh Jackman as a "sex shop"[52] and by Forbes as a "mail-order lingerie warehouse"[2] "'It doesn't need to be secret, it needs to be respected,' Copperfield said. 'If a scholar or journalist needs a piece of magic history, it's there.'"[47][53][54]

On 7 January 1849, Dickens visited Norwich and Yarmouth in Norfolk, with two close friends, John Leech (1817–1864) and Mark Lemon (1809–1870).[26] Leech was an illustrator at Punch, a satirical magazine, and the first illustrator for A Christmas Carol by Dickens in 1843. Lemon was a founding editor of Punch, and soon a contributor to Household Words, the weekly magazine Dickens was starting up; he co-authored Mr Nightingale's Diary, a farce, with Dickens in 1851.[27][28] The two towns, especially the second, became important in the novel, and Dickens informed Forster that Yarmouth seemed to him to be "the strangest place in the world" and that he would "certainly try my hand at it".[29] During a walk in the vicinity of Yarmouth, Dickens noticed a sign indicating the small locality of Blunderston, which became in his novel the village of "Blunderstone" where David is born and spends his childhood.[15]
Copperfield was accused of sexual assault in 2007 by Lacey L. Carroll.[91] A federal grand jury in Seattle closed the investigation in January 2010 without bringing charges.[92][93] In January 2010, the Bellevue City Prosecutor's Office brought misdemeanor charges against Carroll for prostitution and allegedly making a false accusation of rape in another case.[94] Carroll filed a civil lawsuit against Copperfield,[95] which was dropped in April 2010.[96][97] In January 2018, Copperfield was accused of drugging and assaulting a teenager in 1988.[98] Copperfield published a statement in response on January 24, 2018.[99]
Mr Barkis – An aloof carter who declares his intention to marry Peggotty after eating her handmade pastries. He says to David: "Tell her, 'Barkis is willin'!' Just so." Peggotty marries him after Clara Copperfield's death. He is a miser, keeping an unexpected amount of wealth in a plain box labelled "Old Clothes". He bequeaths two-thirds of his money to his wife from his savings of £3,000 (equivalent to $271,000 in 2019) when he dies after about ten years of marriage. He leaves annuities for Mr Daniel Peggotty, Little Emily, and David from the rest.
After Dickens' death, David Copperfield rose to the forefront of the writer's works, both through sales, for example, in Household Words in 1872 where sales reached 83,000,[165] and the praise of critics. In 1871, Scottish novelist and poet Margaret Oliphant described it as "the culmination of Dickens's early comic fiction";[166] However, in the late nineteenth-century Dickens's critical reputation suffered a decline, though he continued to have many readers. This began when Henry James in 1865 "relegated Dickens to the second division of literature on the grounds that he could not 'see beneath the surface of things'". Then in 1872, two years after Dickens's death, George Henry Lewes wondered how to "reconcile [Dickens's] immense popularity with the 'critical contempt' which he attracted".[167] However, Dickens was defended by the novelist George Gissing in 1898 in Charles Dickens: A Critical Study.[167] G. K. Chesterton published an important defence of Dickens in his book Charles Dickens in 1906, where he describes him as this “most English of our great writers”.[168] Dickens's literary reputation grew in the 1940s and 1950s because of essays by George Orwell and Edmund Wilson (both published in 1940), and Humphrey House's The Dickens World (1941).[169] However, in 1948, F. R. Leavis in The Great Tradition, contentiously, excluded Dickens from his canon, characterising him as a "popular entertainer"[170] without "mature standards and interests".[171]
Separating realism and symbolism can be tricky, especially, for example, when it relates, to the subject of imprisonment, which is both a very real place of confinement for the Micawber family, and, more generally throughout David Copperfield, symbolic of the damage inflicted on a sick society, trapped in its inability to adapt or compromise, with many individuals walled within in themselves.[142]
Clara es infeliz en su vida, ya no solo por el régimen de Murdstone, sino que este es reforzado por la hermana de este, que se traslada a vivir con ellos para ayudarla a dirigir la casa, aunque en realidad toma todas las atribuciones de dirección, reduciendo a Clara a una simple inquilina sin voz ni voto. Dicha situación deteriora la salud de Clara, quien a la vuelta de David durante el invierno, ha tenido un bebé. De regreso en el colegio, David recibe la noticia de la muerte de su madre, seguida por la de su recién nacido hijo.
