The impecunious little boy in Dickens novels must be the most important character of them all. This character always seems to get the sympathy of the audience/reader. You could say that this character is the drive-train of his stories, because you want to read/watch on because and see what happens to this God forsaken child, and it warms you heart to read/see that he is happy again. Therefore, I personally don’t think that the stories would be nearly as interesting without this little boy.
