【范文】

David Copperfield was written by Dickens and it is a long piece of fiction. The story is told almost entirely from the point of view of the first person narrator, David Copperfield himself. When reading this novel, I was totally attracted by not only the exciting plot but also the author‘s sprightly smooth and the humorous charming language.

The main character, David Copperfield is a diligent person who is good at observing. His father passed away in his early time, and his mother departed later, which made him make a living independently. At first, he was sent to do the child laborer. Latter, because cannot bear the maltreatment, he ran away to his aunt’s home. His aunt sent him to school, after graduate, he become a lawyer and marry his teacher’s daughter Dora. But soon, Dora died of disease and David leave for Australia with deep sorrow. After returning to homeland, he had become a writer and married Agnes, and from this time he starts the happy content life.

The novel plot is just like this,though there are not many soul-stirring scenes and imposing heroic achievement,lets me feel that I was appreciating a fresh picture.

David’s complex character allows for contradiction and development over the course of the novel. David experiencedmany things which were difficult and dangerous, when he was in trouble, his friends came to help him. Among those people, there were men and women, elders and children. Though they were different, all can render oneself in ones power assistance at difficult time. Due to have these truly friends, David can turn danger into safety and be pulled in the death edge by the companion again and again. What can let he pass the danger is the great human nature.

I thinkthe human nature passes through this book. In the novel, there are many art characters, in my opinion,these are the actually living character in the real life. These characters are not only lived in 19th century, but also live inthe present age.The human nature is divided into two parts, elegant and ugly.The elegant human nature should always be remembered by us and not be diluted by the time’s change. We should develop and let it lead the entire human nature for it has a great significance for our society. The ugly human nature should be forbidden and not appear in the society, it is not only does no significance to our society, even also can tow the hind leg which we progress.

The good servant Peggotty was kind all the time. She does not like to show herself in front of people, her kindness comes from her heart, and then I associate others in the world, some of them are hypocritical and unctuous. Which they can’t get rid of is their own interest. No matter what they do, they first think is that whether their interest will be destroyed or their purpose will be completed. They are selfish, and their mind should be corrected with the standard of Peggotty’s.

In our actually society, many people are similar to Steerforth, he is very cunning, he made friends with David then cheat his friends. At first, they pretended very gentle or outstanding to their friends, in fact, they had their own purpose. After having their friends confused, then the evil plan started. Taking advantage of other’s trust to cheat and running away when they completed the purpose. Their human natures are ugly and hateful.

But the man who was most hated is Uriah Heep. Uriah serves a foil to David and contrasts David’s qualities of innocence and compassion with his own corruption. Uriah and David not only have opposing characteristics but also operate at cross-purposes. For example, whereas Uriah wishes to marry Agnes only in order to hurt David, David’s marriages are both motivated by love He always displays very much base and low in front of others, as if he want to win others sympathy, he likes to do this at any time. Actually, he has other goal, when he cooperation with David, he want to make him breakdown and cause him to stain the excessive drinking abuse, he embezzled public funds and try to buy his office. I think there are many people who are similar to Uriah in the market, they always like to enjoy the process of destroying others to accumulate their own wealth. Sometimes they even cheat their closed person. In front of the family members, they are very successful and splendid, but no one know that they receive these by betrayed their own human nature. They obtain the splendid while harvested the evil. I think ordinary people will not want this kind of splendid.

We should inherit and carry forward the elegant human nature, make up for the discount mind. But for the ugly human nature, we should say firmly “no”, and defeats it with the elegant human nature. Only do this can our society become more beautiful and peaceful.

"David Copperfield is the worlds literary treasure 48 one of the series, although the world literature treasure I have looked at several of the books, but I still have a special liking to the autobiography of dickens.

《大卫·科波菲尔》是世界文学宝库丛书48本中的一本，尽管世界文学名著宝库中的书我已经看了好几本，但我还是对狄更斯的这本自传情有独钟。

文中的主人公大卫·科波菲尔的父亲在大卫出生六个月就去世了，大卫八岁时，她的母亲又嫁给了摩德斯通先生，而摩德斯通先生和他的姐姐都是铁石心肠，他们不喜欢大卫，总想着法子虐待大卫，还将大为的母亲给折磨死。

大卫的母亲死后，他的继父就不再让他上学，并逼着大卫去做童工，做了童工的大卫生活变得更加困难，一个星期6个先令让大卫省吃俭用，很快他就偷跑了出来，投奔他富有的姨婆，并被姨婆送进学校，受到了好的教育。

尽管大卫童年时受尽了磨难，但他善良，乐于助人的性格没变，并且他最终也取得了幸福美满的爱情。

《大卫·科波菲尔》让我懂得了自传的书写方式，也让我明白了只有磨练自己，你才可以成功。

I read a famous British writer dickens of a classic "David Copperfield", feeling a lot of enlightenment.

David, an ordinary boy. His father had died before his birth, leaving the young mother and nurse to take care of the little guy. Although didnt get a father, but under the care of the adults, David had a wonderful childhood. Until one day, mother love with a man, David had a stepfather, everything changed. Her stepfather as the devil, greed, stepfather, sister is a heart of stone. Warm home as cold as ice cellar, Davids mother soon in their siblings died under torture, David school for child labor.

Lucky enough to flee the scene, in the meantime, David stayed with my aunt Bessie. With the help of Bessie with Mr Dick, David received a good education, and meet with a friend. Although have been suffering, kindness, integrity, remain in Davids body. After accept the baptism of death and respectively, a successful career in business, David and reap the sweet of love.

And other works of dickens "oliver twist", it is more perfect, not only with the outrage when young, more mature, more close to reality. David, in his childhood and youth, David body that shares a pitch is impressive. If for me, I can also like David? The stepfather I would remain calm in the face of fierce? After so many failures, I still have hope? I think its hard for me to do it.

I see from Davids body, in a crisis, how important it is to have optimistic mind, only in this way, we can become the butterfly fly against the wind. In fact, success is not far away from me, as long as you stick to, always can catch him, but I often fear of failure, not forward. In the future no matter what difficulties, I must to Davids example and do a frail-looking, but never bend after wind and rain bamboo!

我读了英国著名作家狄更斯的一本名著《大卫.科波菲尔》，从中感悟了许多启示。

大卫，一名普通的男孩。在他出生前父亲便已去世，留下年轻的母亲和保姆来照顾这个小家伙。虽然没得到过父爱，但在大人们的精心呵护下，大卫拥有了一段美好的童年。直到一天，母亲与一位男士相爱，大卫有了一个继父，一切都改变了。继父象魔鬼，贪婪凶狠，继父的姐姐也是个铁石心肠的人。温暖的家变得如冰窖般寒冷，很快大卫的母亲在他们姐弟的折磨下病逝了，大卫辍学做了童工。

在此期间，大卫有幸逃了出去，投奔了姨婆贝西。在贝西与狄克先生的帮助下，大卫得到了良好的教育，并与故人重逢。虽然饱经磨难，但善良、正直的品质一直留在大卫的身上。在接受死亡与分别的洗礼后，大卫在事业上有所成就，并收获了温馨的爱情。

与狄更斯的另一部作品《雾都孤儿》相比，它更加完美，不仅带有青年时的愤慨，更多了几分成熟，也更加贴近现实。无论孩童时代的大卫，还是青年时代的大卫，身上那股韧劲令人赞叹。如果换成我，我也能象大卫这样吗?面对凶狠的继父我会保持冷静吗?在经历那么多失败，我还会拥有希望吗?我觉得我很难做到。

从大卫的身上我看到，在危难之中，拥有乐观的心态是多么的重要，只有这样，我们才能成为那逆风飞翔的蝶。其实成功离我并不遥远，只要坚持追求，总能将他捉住，而我却常常畏惧失败，不敢向前。今后无论遇到怎样的困难，我一定以大卫为榜样，做一株看似柔弱，但历经风雨永不弯曲的青竹!

This book describes the lifelike characters. Have a kind pure old nannies peggotty, a quiet clever Alice, seemingly serious yet has a bodhisattva heart s wave, there are vicious brutality, treacherous moder stone, sister and brother and sinister and spectrum...

Before David Copperfield was born, his father died. Mother in the assembly at the age of seven remarried. Davids stepfather is a fierce greedy guy, sister is a wrong person. They abused David, and David suffering and death, the mother of Davids stepfather force greatly when child labor, David lucky enough to escape, go to a good aunt. Aunt wave sent him to a good school, accept education. He exert themselves in the predicament, hard work, with the nature of his kind, helpful, not only in career success, also obtained the success in life.

After reading the book touched me the most is the hero David his face life after suffering no escape. Because he knew that escape is a tasteless struggles.

His strong inspired me no matter how many difficulties should be the front of the strong, think method to solve. I used to have this experience: "obstacle", encountered in the learning circumstances as soon as he was the first idea is to consult teachers and classmates, and furthermore, is to give up. Never thought your hands and your mind to solve the problem, never thought that success is the real success.

The book touched me deeply, I like David strong and optimistic in the future. Hope the spirit of David Copperfield in readers hearts forever.

这本书里描写了栩栩如生的人物形象。有善良纯朴的老保姆辟果提，有恬静聪明的艾妮斯，有貌似严肃却又有着菩萨心肠的姨波，有凶狠残暴、奸诈的摩德斯通姐弟俩，还有阴险狡诈的希谱……

在大卫·科波菲尔出生之前，他的父亲就不幸去世了。母亲在大会七岁的时候改嫁。大卫的继父是一个凶狠贪婪的家伙，姐姐是一个不尽情理的人。他们虐待大卫，还把大卫的母亲折磨至死，大卫的继父逼着大为当童工，大卫有幸逃了出来，去投奔了好心的姨婆。姨波把他送进了一所好学校，接受教育。他在困境中奋发向上，刻苦努力，凭借着他的善良、乐于助人的本性，不仅在事业上获得的成功，同时也获得了生活上的成功。

读完这本书令我感动最深的是主人公大卫他面对人生的苦难后不逃避。因为他知道逃避就是一种无味的挣扎。

他的坚强启发了我不管遇到多少困难都应该坚强的前面对，想方法去解决。我曾经有过这样的经历：在学习中遇到“拦路虎”，便马上唉声叹气，第一个想法便是请教老师和同学，再者就是放弃。从没有想过好自己的双手和自己的头脑去解决问题，没想过那样的成功才是真正的成功。

这本书深深地打动了我，使我今后像大卫一样坚强、乐观。希望大卫·科波菲尔的精神永远留在读者心中。

大卫非常贪玩，平时无论是在学校还是在家里，一到休息时间，脚上就像踩着风火轮似的，怎么喊都停不下来。但是最近发生的一件事，使大卫没那么贪玩了。

事情是这样的。一天，大卫写完作业，急急忙忙跑到小明家，对小明说：“小明，我们一起去玩吧！”小明正无聊，立马就换好鞋子和大卫出门了。

他们走着走着，不知不觉来到一座小山上面。他们在草丛里追跑，在岩石堆里捉迷藏……玩得满头大汗，不亦乐乎。忽然，小明看见一棵大树下有一只小兔子。小明就出了一个馊主意：“大卫，咱们比赛看谁先捉到那只兔子，好不？”

“好啊，好啊！”大卫连忙答应。于是，一场追兔子大赛开始了。只见小白兔在前面轻巧地跳跃着，身影在树丛中若隐若现。小明和大卫在后面奋力追赶，嘴里还不停叫着“别跑，抓住他！”聪明的小兔突然在半山腰转了个大弯，朝右跑去。倒霉的大卫一下刹不住车，一个趔趄摔向前方，像个球一样朝前滚了两三米，正好掉到一个泥坑里。

“你没事吧！”小明奋力把大卫从泥坑里拉出来。大卫虽然没有受伤，但满头满脸都是泥巴。他用稍微干净的左手往脸上一抹，立刻脸就出现五个指印，只把小明笑的前俯后仰。

大卫回到家，妈妈打开门一看，吓了一跳，连忙喊大卫爸爸“卫爸，卫爸，快来，快来，我家来了一个小叫花子，快拿点吃的给他！”大卫一听，极不好意思地低声说“妈，是我！”

从此，小叫花子大卫的故事就传开了，大卫也就再也不敢那么贪玩了。

大卫今年快6岁了，身高才110厘米，他马上要上小学了，可还是一如既往的调皮，别人都叫他“调皮鬼大卫”。

那是一个春光明媚的早晨，大卫早早地起了床，吃了早餐之后，大卫去幼儿园的好朋友杰克特家找他玩，去了他家才知道杰克特不在，大卫只好垂头丧气地走了。

大卫觉得很无聊，于是，他打开电视看起来。

突然，他看见运动员在打棒球，灵机一动，他快速地跑到自己的卧室里，翻出了一个头盔，戴上；翻出了一根木棍，拿起。“看我，我是一个很棒的棒球运动员！”

等大卫全装待发的时候，妈妈从餐桌上站起来对大卫大声喊：“大卫，不可以在屋子里玩！”

大卫不听，捂住耳朵，等妈妈说完才肯松开。他拿起球，轻轻抛上去，然后用木棍用力地一击。

“哐！”——电视被大卫扔的球弄出一道深深的痕迹，“叽哦！”

电视机顿时一团黑。

正在沙发上看手机的爸爸被声音惊到了，他都不用回头，就知道是大卫搞的鬼，还没等他说什么，大卫就一溜烟地跑了。

正好他跑下楼时，他听见了鼓声，他跑得更起劲了，跑完了所有的楼梯之后，看见那些街道的奶奶们正在精神抖擞地打鼓。

大卫觉得这很好玩儿，从休息的那些打鼓的奶奶那里偷了一件衣服，迅速地穿在身上，然后就向家里厨房跑过去，找来水瓢歪着戴在头上，左手抓过一个汤勺，右手紧握住妈妈煎蛋的平底锅，仿佛就是一个打击乐队的乐手。

大卫用汤勺使劲敲平底锅，还一边张大嘴使劲叫：“啦！啦！啦！我是一个音乐家，音乐家！哈！哈！哈！”平底锅发出的刺耳的声音再加上我那“动听”的歌，完美！

大卫正陶醉在自己的幻想中，突然，邻居家大叔怒气冲冲打开门，用双手叉着腰，对大卫大声喊：“大卫！不要吵！”

这“狮子吼”打破了大卫的幻想，“无趣！”大卫想：音乐会泡汤了。就把自己的”装备“给扔在地上，跑出去了。

大卫调皮的事情数不胜数，都可以把它写成一本书了！

大家好，我叫大卫，今年6岁，别看我样子很斯文、可爱，其实我是一个调皮的孩子，常常做出一些调皮的事来，所以大家都叫我调皮大卫。我有时候把锅子当鼓打，有时候趁妈妈不注意会偷糖果吃……我的调皮故事说也说不完。

（一）在客厅玩棒球

一天我在无聊的看电视，突然电视放广告了，我换了台，换到了棒球台，我闲着无聊就找来了我幼儿园的棒球、棒球棒、棒球头盔和棒球服来玩。我看到茶几上的钟、花瓶和舞蹈雕像，心想：就把它们作为目标吧！我拿起了棒球和棒球棒准备射击，妈妈看见了，火冒三丈地说：“大卫，不可以在屋子里玩！”

我心里想：我才刚刚开始玩耶，才不停手呢！我不理妈妈，继续打我的棒球。我瞄准一打，把妈妈最爱的花瓶给打碎了，可是我还是不肯收手，继续拿起棒球打。我又把爸爸最疼爱的钟给打坏了，我看爸爸正坐在沙发上，情况不妙，拔腿就跑走了。爸爸看了说：“我真是受够了！”

（二）吃饭玩食物

“我吃饭了！”我看到餐桌上有香辣的鸡腿、土豆和四季豆，又想到了一个新点子，我把土豆叉在叉子柄上，然后用勺子把土豆画了眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。

我又把四季豆叉在叉子的中间，然后把两个鸡腿叉在叉子的两个底角上，就是一个可爱的小人了。

爸爸说：“大卫，不可以玩食物！”大卫说：“我不是在玩，我是在吃！”

大家都觉得我是家里最调皮的孩子呢！其实大家都感受不到调皮有多么快乐！

大卫，一个调皮贪玩的小男孩，他总能做出令人意想不到的“傻事”，就连妈妈也拿他没辙。

周末，大卫闲着没事干，便一头栽倒在床上，无聊极了。这时，大卫眼珠子一转，心想：家里全是白色的地板，不如我给它改个面貌吧！于是他以风一般的速度跑出了家，在路上，他还哼着“我是小小粉刷匠，粉刷本领强……”还露出了不大整齐的大白牙。来到泥坑旁，大卫毫不犹豫地跳进了泥坑里，满地打滚，不一会儿，大卫便成了“非洲人”。他兴奋地欢呼起来，用手拍打着自己，溅起了无数的泥巴……看！大卫身上这儿一块泥巴，那儿一块泥巴，活像一个从未洗过澡的流浪汉，路过的旁人纷纷指责他的顽皮，而大卫还在那若无其事地哼着小曲，头四处张望，还不停地扭扭脖子，好像不关他的事一样。

大卫回到家，轻轻转动门的把手，然后四处张望，见没有人，便小心翼翼地把门关上，接着鬼鬼祟祟地把所有房间都“侦察”了一遍，没有人？太好了！大卫在床上蹦蹦跳跳地把泥巴传染给了床，在墙壁上画画，又把泥巴传染给了墙……

妈妈下班回来了，见家里一片狼藉，大卫也是一身狼狈，大声尖叫道：“天哪！大卫，不可以，不可以！”大卫呆呆地站在那儿，一只手挠着后脑勺，一只手使劲地抓着自己的裤子，心想：“我是不是太顽皮了？老是惹妈妈生气，不行，我要改变自己！”于是，大卫鼓起勇气，来到妈妈跟前，说：“妈妈，我喜欢你灿烂的笑容，不喜欢你的愁眉苦脸，所以，以后我不会惹您生气了！”妈妈听了，有点惊讶，但是只在那一眨眼的功夫，她紧紧地抱着大卫，激动得说不出话来……

大卫·科波菲尔尚未来到人间，父亲就已去世，他在母亲及女仆辟果提的照管下长大。不久，母亲改嫁，后父摩德斯通凶狠贪婪，他把大卫看作累赘，婚前就把大卫送到辟果提的哥哥家里。辟果提是个正直善良的渔民，住在雅茅斯海边一座用破船改成的小屋里，与收养的一对孤儿(他妹妹的女儿爱弥丽和他弟弟的儿子海穆)相依为命，大卫和他们一起过着清苦和睦的生活。

大卫回家后，后父常常责打他，并且剥夺了他母亲对他的关怀和爱抚。母亲去世后，后父立即把不足10岁的大卫送去当洗刷酒瓶的童工，让他过着不能温饱的生活。他历尽艰辛，最后找到了姨婆贝西小姐。

贝西小姐生性怪僻，但心地善良。她收留了大卫，让他上学深造。大卫求学期间，寄宿在姨婆的律师威克菲尔家里，与他的女儿安妮斯结下情谊。但大卫对威克菲尔雇用的一个名叫希普的书记极为反感，讨厌他那种阳奉阴违、曲意逢迎的丑态。

大卫中学毕业后外出旅行，邂逅童年时代的同学斯提福兹。两人一起来到雅茅斯，访问辟果提一家。已经和海穆订婚的爱弥丽经受不住阔少爷斯提福兹的引诱，竟在结婚前夕与斯提福兹私奔国外。辟果提痛苦万分，发誓要找回爱弥丽。

大卫回到伦敦，在斯本罗律师事务所任见习生。他从安妮斯口中获悉，威克菲尔律师落入诡计多端的希普所设计的陷阱，处于走投无路的境地。这使大卫非常愤慨。但这时，大卫堕入情网，爱上斯本罗律师的女儿朵拉。他俩婚后生活并不理想，因为朵拉是个容貌美丽、但头脑简单的“洋娃娃”。姨婆也濒临破产。这时，大卫再次遇见他当童工时的房东密考伯，密考伯现在是希普的秘书。密考伯经过激烈的思想斗争，揭露了希普陷害威克菲尔并导致贝西小姐破产的种种阴谋。在事实面前，希普只好伏罪。后因他案并发，被判终身监禁。贝西小姐为了感谢密考伯，送他一笔资金，使他在澳大利亚发财致富，事业上取得成功。

与此同时，辟果提多方奔波，终于找到了被斯提福兹抛弃后沦落在伦敦的爱弥丽，决定将她带到澳大利亚，重新生活。启程前夕，海上风狂雨骤，一艘来自西班牙的客轮在雅茅斯遇险沉没，桅杆上攀着一个濒死的旅客。海穆不顾自身危险，下海救他，不幸被巨浪吞没。当人们捞起他的尸体时，船上那名旅客的尸体也漂到岸边，原来是诱拐爱弥丽的斯提福兹!爱弥丽怀念海穆，去澳大利亚后在劳动中寻找安宁，终身不嫁。

大卫成了作家。朵拉却患了重病，在辟果提去澳前夕离开人世。大卫满怀悲痛，出国旅行，其间，安妮斯始终与他保持联系。当他三年后返回英国时，发觉安妮斯始终爱着他。他俩终于结成良缘，与姨婆贝西和女仆辟果提愉快地生活在一起。

这是一部带有自传色彩的小说。可能与他对童年不幸遭际抹不去的记忆有关，狄更斯有多部作品除以孤儿为主人公，如《远大前程》、《奥立弗o退斯特》等。孤儿流浪、历险、受磨难的经历，他们的命运，是读者最关心的，而对柔情、友情、爱情，对广义的"家"的寻找，构成这些作品的主导动机。有意思的是，那些孤儿终能逢凶化吉，步入狄更斯式的大团圆结局。《大卫o科波菲尔》亦是如此。主人公未出母腹父亲即去世，小说从他出生写起，结尾时他成了作家，并且与少年时代的女友结合，过上幸福生活。这中间是一连串的磨难：丧母、继父虐待，做童工、出逃、流浪、寻亲、第一次婚姻、丧妻等等。尽管遇到一些恶人，大卫却从辟果提、米考伯夫妇、姨婆等好人身上感到人间的温暧，正是这些人物与小说团圆的结局一道，令这部小说洋溢着狄更斯式的人情味。

1850年发表的《大卫o科波菲尔》是19世纪英国批判现实主义大师狄更斯的一部代表作。在这部具有强烈的自传色彩的小说里，狄更斯借用"小大卫自身的历史和经验"，从不少方面回顾和总结了自己的生活道路，反映了他的人生哲学和道德理想。

文章通过主人公大卫一生的悲欢离合，多层次地揭示了当时社会的真实面貌，突出地表现了金钱对婚姻、家庭和社会的腐蚀作用。小说中一系列悲剧的形成都是金钱导致的。摩德斯通骗娶大卫的母亲是觊觎她的财产;爱弥丽的私奔是经受不起金钱的诱惑;威克菲尔一家的痛苦，海穆的绝望，无一不是金钱造成的恶果。而卑鄙小人希普也是在金钱诱惑下一步步堕落的，最后落得个终身监禁的可耻下场。狄更斯正是从人道主义的思想出发，暴露了金钱的罪恶，从而揭开"维多利亚盛世"的美丽帷幕，显现出隐藏其后的社会真相。

在人物的塑造上，大卫o科波菲尔无疑倾注了作者的全部心血。不论是他孤儿时代所遭遇的种种磨难和辛酸，还是他成年后不屈不挠的奋斗，都表现了一个小人物在资本主义社会中寻求出路的痛苦历程。经历了大苦大难后尝到人间幸福和温暖的大卫，靠的是他真诚、直率的品性，积极向上的精神，以及对人的纯洁友爱之心。安妮斯也是作者着力美化的理想的女性。她既有外在的美貌，又有内心的美德，既坚韧不拔地保护着受希普欺凌的老父，又支持着饱受挫折之苦的大卫。她最后与大卫的结合，是"思想和宗旨的一致"，这种完美的婚姻使小说的结尾洋溢一派幸福和希望的气氛。他们都是狄更斯的资产阶级人道主义理想的化身。这种思想的形成与狄更斯个人的经历和好恶是分不开的。他始终认为，处于受压迫地位的普通人，其道德情操远胜于那些统治者、压迫者。正是基于这种信念，小说中许多普通人如渔民辟果提、海穆，尽管家贫如洗，没有受过教育，却怀有一颗诚朴、善良的心，与富有的斯提福兹及其所作所为形成了鲜明的对比。

当然，这种强烈的对比还反映着狄更斯本人的道德观："善有善报，恶有恶报"。这部小说里各类主要人物的.结局，都是沿着这种脉络设计的。如象征着邪恶的希普和斯提福兹最后都得到了应有的惩罚;而善良的人都找到了可喜的归宿。狄更斯希翼以这样的道德观来改造社会，消除人间罪恶，这是他的局限性所在。

《大卫o科波菲尔》在艺术上的魅力，不在于它有曲折生动的结构，或者跌宕起伏的情节，而在于它有一种现实的生活气息和抒情的叙事风格。这部作品吸引人的是那有血有肉的人物形象，具体生动的世态人情，以及不同人物的性格特征。如大卫的伯母贝西小姐，不论是她的言谈举止，服饰装束，习惯好恶，甚至一举手一投足，尽管不无夸张之处，但都生动地描绘出一个生性怪僻、心地慈善的老妇人形象。
