Abstract

Charles Dickens' "Our Mutual Friend" can be argued to be among one of the most complex works written by Dickens. In the novel, Dickens reflects his critical view on society, often with referencing to "waste". In this thesis, the role of waste is examined and explained; furthermore, an interpretation is given on the connection between waste and Dickens' increasingly critical view on society.
