"David Copperfield" reveals the true face of the society at that time on multiple levels through the tragedies and joys of the protagonist David's life, and prominently shows the corrosive effect of money on marriage, family and society. The formation of a series of tragedies in the novel is caused by money. Mordstone's deception of marrying David's mother was a covetousness of her possessions; Emily's elopement was unable to withstand the temptation of money; the suffering of the Wakefield family, the despair of Haymud, all of which were the consequences of money. And the vile villain Hip is also depraved step by step under the temptation of money, and finally ends up with a shameful end of life imprisonment. It is from the idea of humanism that Dickens exposes the evil of money, thus unveiling the beautiful curtain of the "Victorian Age" and revealing the social truth that is hidden behind.
