“And from that hour his poor maimed spirit, only remembering the place where it had broken its wings, cancelled the dream through which it had since groped, and knew of nothing beyond the Marshalsea.”

LITTLE DORRIT
Charles Dickens' 'Little Dorrit' is a complex narrative that explores themes of social class, family loyalty, and the human spirit. The story follows Amy Dorrit, a young woman who spends her formative years in the Marshalsea prison with her family, who are there due to financial debts. The novel delves into the lives of various characters, including Amy's brother Arthur, who is mistakenly believed to be a criminal, and her friend, the artist Merdle. Through these characters, Dickens critiques the British legal system and societal norms of his time. more
