Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Pikku Dorrit I" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the lives of various characters, prominently featuring Amy Dorrit, affectionately known as "Pikku Dorrit," who is the daughter of a debtor confined in the Marshalsea prison. The narrative explores themes of poverty and societal injustice as it delves into the contrasts between wealth and hardship. The opening of "Pikku Dorrit" introduces the oppressive heat of Marseille and sets a vivid scene filled with the struggles of two men confined in a grim prison. As they await their fate, their conversations reflect desperation, camaraderie, and a yearning for freedom. One of them, John Baptist Cavalletto, expresses a spirited resilience despite their dire situation, while the other, monsieur Rigaud, reveals aspirations of maintaining his gentlemanly status. The atmosphere is heavily marked by the prison's bleakness and the men's contrasting attitudes towards their captivity, which foreshadows the broader societal critiques Dickens is known for throughout the novel.
