- W2486690146 abstract "That Dickens is not a ‘realist’1 has always been apparent to readers, though not to film directors, who have, for instance, flattened Mr Bounderby from an inflated windbag to a surly Lancashire businessman, whose sudden comic reference to Mrs Sparsit’s ‘seemingly swallowing marbles’ pokes up incongruously from the pervasive greyness.2 Madame Defarge on television is not a monster, but a luminously beautiful woman who even manages to produce a few tears.3 Conversely, non-realist versions of the novels also manage to offend: the starving boys, in a scene that lingers unforgettably among memories of the outrages perpetrated upon Dickens, burst forth into a colourful song and dance routine in the musical Oliver!4 A fair treatment of Dickens’s characters must therefore take account of both comedy (Bounderby) and imaginative transformation (Mme Defarge); yet the mixing of these tonal elements, while customary in Dickens’s own narration, is certainly not to be tampered with lightly in the presentation of human suffering, as Oliver!shows us." @default.
