David copperfield writer6/1/2023 Modern improvements have altered the place but it was the last house at the bottom of a narrow street, curving down hill to the river, with some stairs at the end, where people took boat. Let's take, for example, David's description of his stepfather's horrible factory: Murdstone and Grinby's warehouse was at the waterside. As we have discussed in our section on "Narrator Point of View" nothing in this goes unframed by David's impressions and judgments. However, even the most objective account of the scenery of the novel will eventually give way to commentary from our helpful narrator, David himself. There's a lot of dense description of the setting and characters of the novel, which makes it seem as though these events are happening right in front of us. We've mentioned that the tone of David Copperfield is often melodramatic and emotional, but the language of the novel is actually pretty realistic.
