Mr.Pickwick

            Charles Dickens created Mr. Pickwick for the book The Pickwick Papers, which became on of my favorite book, making Mr. Pickwick my favorite character I have ever encountered in a novel. Mr. Pickwick is a plump middle-aged gentleman that lived in the 1800’s; he was a gentleman and an esquire. I find humor in him because there isn’t anything that he does that goes well with him. In many occasions Mr. Pickwick gets into troubles by saying things with double meanings, everything he said would be taken in the wrong way. Once as he was talking to his maidservant about hiring a manservant, he said it in a way that his maidservant thought that he was purposing! I connect with Mr. Pickwick because he isn’t perfect, there is never a time when he isn’t running into issues. He isn’t a hero, but he is a normal human with abnormal problems that are solved with ingenuity. The mischief that he and his companions have are humorous, his manservant once wrote a valentine to the one he loved, and not wanted to reveal his identity, signed the letter with his master’s name! Mr. Pickwick is a humble and joyful man, enjoying everything that he does. He displays something rare in humanity now; he welcomes strangers and forgives everyone that he encounters. He is a great example of what a human should be, even if he is fictional. The world would be a great place if we were all Pickwinians.
