Before us are three heroines with different characters, different habits, but at the same time, they received one upbringing and were very educated. The action takes place in a provincial town.

Sketches of Young Couples

Charles Dickens

Sketches of Young Couples is similarly a relatively early and short work by Charles Dickens in which he outlines in a humorous and vaguely satirical way various types of couples (young, old and matured) in society under different subjects describing their actions, thoughts and decisions as couple. These subjects are chosen as a moral essay to raise the awareness and information in young couple for coming generation of both sexes. As always, Dickens scatterings of humor help make it an enjoyable read. Its mainly an exercise in characterization, but each little chapter reads like a story, or part of a story. These satirical portraits, specially timed to Queen Victorias 1839 engagement to the future Prince Albert, not only reveal the dazzling brilliance of young Dickenss genius, but also offer a humorous glimpse into Victorian mores and attitudes.
