Synopsis

The story follows David Copperfield from his birth into a loving home, cared for by a devoted mother and a nurse who treats him as her own. His life changes when his mother marries Mr. Murdstone, leading to David being sent away to boarding school and, after his mother’s death, on to London.

There, David is expected to earn his own livelihood at the age of ten. Despite the hardships he faces, he is portrayed as meeting his challenges with maturity and courage, supported by a small number of people who care for him, as he works towards his place in the world.
