Charles Dickens, a prolific Victorian writer and social critic, operated with varied literary devices in his works to reflect the Victorian-age mores. An era marked by fervent changes in the lifestyle, impact of the Industrial Revolution, inequalities between the social classes motivated Dickens to conceive his singular authorial perspective. While employing an array of literary techniques to breathe life into his characters, comedy prevailed as an incumbent piece of the complex Dickensian puzzle. Many of his works displayed a variety of comedic literary strategies to spark a humorous reaction in a reader, to ponder and criticize social and political oddities of the Victorian-era England. Irony pointed out the characters flaws and foibles while also railing against prominent English institutions. Grotesque added to comedic character descriptions and lashed the absurdity of the situations befalling his protagonists. Comedy of manners relied on overdrawn character delineations as to provide comic relief on the part of the reader. Invective sharply attacked and satirized the system with the subtle desire to enact a change and resolve those defects. Dickens painted a mirror image of what he saw and experienced between the lines of his novels, leaving behind an outstandingly defamiliarised canvas of the nineteenth-century England.
