Little Dorrit

The play is a satire of the incompetence of the government of the time and the hypocrisy of Victorian society. Much of Dickens's criticism centers on the debtors' prisons of the time, places where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, until they somehow paid off their debts; In many cases, the debtor spent decades in prison before being amnestied on the evidence of his inability to pay, or died in prison forgotten by all. To criticize this situation, Dickens places a good part of the plot in the Marshalsea jail, on the right bank of the River Thames as it passes through London, described with intensity, especially since the author's own father was imprisoned there.
