nature and religion, through biblical allusions

Religion is the opium of the people, this is clear
to see in Coketown, where there is an absence of
Christianity and if the members of a religious
persuasion had built a chapel there they made it a
pious warehouse of red brick, witha bell in a bird
cage. Dickens d...

have written several books. Although each book is
different, they also share many similarities. Two
of his books, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist,
are representatives of the many kinds of
differences and similarities found within his

share some of the same qualities is because they
both reflect painful experiences which occurred in
Dickens past. During his childhood, Charles

were avowedly, unashamed, incorrigibly moralists.

sought not only to assist materially but also to

novelists, perhaps the best people ever to have

reasons and certain examples about these two men.
William Shakespeare is a genius of his art form,
