Description
This is the story of David Copperfield, a boy whose father died six months before his birth. He spent his early years happily with his mother, Carla, and their beloved housekeeper, Peggotty, for years, and was the center of their affection. One day, his stepfather, Edward Murdstone, whom David had never seen before, came to visit them and was extremely cruel. Now, David and his mother were at the mercy of Mr. Murdstone, who had a habit of punishing him. Once, while scolding him for not studying, David bit his hand and told him he didn’t like him. This led his stepfather to lock him in his room for five days, after which he was sent to Salem House Boarding School, where he was treated harshly by the headmaster, Mr. Crackle, and his assistant (and vice-headmaster). The only benefit David gained from attending school was that he made friends with Tommy Traddles and James Steerforth. Due to Murdstone’s cruelty, his mother and her newborn son died. After the funeral, Murdstone decided to send David to London to work in his warehouse, where he lived with Wilkins and Emma Micawber. Micawber provided the young boy with some support during the misery he faced during his stay there. David remembered that his mother had spoken of his aunt living near Dover, so one day he decided to visit his aunt, so he walked from London to his aunt’s cottage in Dover.
