The characters are people and in that sense, you can *know* them, but just like when you write a story about yourself, you can't possibly write everything. No one can really know Dickens, just like despite all we know, we can't really know Chesterton. We know parts, and pieces. Reading Dickens work in the Daily News gave people *more* Dickens than we have just reading his novels.<BR/><BR/>Does that make sense?Nancy C.
