AB This paper analyzes social classes in the Victorian Period and their implications in two of Dickens’ novels: David Copperfield and Hard Times for These Times. The main objective of this research is to see what kind of depiction does Dickens provide. Moreover, it is aimed at comparing those depictions of social classes in both novels with the essays of public denounce published serially. These two novels put on perspective to what extent Victorian society is framed by all the huge economical and social changes. Charles Dickens, without doubt, creates characters that are representative of class struggle or the division of society according to social terms. In order to be able to analyze class struggle in Charles Dickens’ novels, a sight to Jane Austen and her novel of manners has to be done to eventually understand how he incorporates these characters and how he denounces Victorian themes in a public way.
