Walk into any bookstore, and you can ___1___ avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. From Oliver Twist to A Tale of Two Cities, many of Dickens’ works still sell well today and are placed on ___2___ shelves.
As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. That question, however, was never more troubling to me than when I was giving a lecture one day, nearly ten years ago. I was telling the students that his writing created a “tune-in-next-week” type of ___3___ among readers. Then, a hand shot up. “But why should we still read this stuff ” the student asked. The answer I gave at that time was merely ___4___. “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.
The question ___5___ me for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he was not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because his ___6___ of the human psyche(心灵) is deep. We read Dickens because we can learn from the experiences of his characters almost as ___7___ as we can learn from our own experiences.
These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. But these are not exactly the reasons why I read Dickens.
My search for an answer ___8___ but never with success, until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had ___9___ for years.
Like most people, I knew who I was without ___10___ it. I was Oliver Twist, always asking for more. I was Nicholas Nickleby, ___11___ that my dead father was watching me from beyond the grave. I was Pip, in love with someone far beyond my ___12___. I was all of these ___13___ and I began to understand more about why I was who I was because Dickens had told me so much about human beings and human ___14___.
Dickens casts a light on who we are during the best of times and the worst of times. That’s why we still need to ___15___ him today.
