Though lesser known, ‘Going into Society’ is a testament to Dickens’s adept storytelling and his examination of social mores. Most famously, Dickens authored major novels such as ‘Great Expectations, ‘ ‘Oliver Twist, ‘ and ‘A Tale of Two Cities, ‘ which not only entertained but also highlighted the social injustices and hardships of his time. His writing style is marked by a rich use of satire, irony, and caricature, with a focus on the lives of the poor and the inequities of the class system.
