tommy charles is one of my favorite characters of all time he is fantastic he is a fairly important character in david copperfield who is nearly always cut from every single street adaptation that has ever done and who is incredibly underrated

Loved

amy dorit is actually my favorite like dickensian heroine like i feel like there are many dickens characters who i love and there are a few more dickens characters further up this list but i feel like of all of dickens's central characters who are the main characters in his novels amy dora is my favorite heroine

Loved

north and south is my second favorite novel of all time i probably could have put like nearly every single character from north and south onto this list but mr thornton has to be my favorite character in north and south he's so complex and interesting and he's so fascinating his character development is so wonderful and i love the way his character development and margaret's character development the other main character north and south like come together it's just so clever

Loved

it's not my favorite thomas harley novel i think it's probably my fourth favorite i'd say after g gypsies after the madden crowd and the woodlanders and but i do absolutely love it and i absolutely love the character of diggery then he is wonderful

Loved

the netherworld is a wonderful novel by george getting that i absolutely love and i find sydney a fascinating character i think he's really psychologically complex and he has a really like powerful journey over the course of the book and where you see him kind of torn between duty and feeling

Loved

i love the odd woman by george kissing it is a wonderful novel and i love the character of rhoda nun i love her because she's truly fascinating and incredibly feminist and the odd woman is a very feminist or proto-feminist novel and it's truly fantastic

Loved

squire harmony and wives and daughters is i think the most fully realized fully believable just completely real portrayal of a character in any book i've ever come across he feels so entirely believable just completely real like he could walk off the page he's so brilliantly written his psychology is so complex

Loved
