Subtle irony: not immediately obvious irony. Use of words to convey a meaning that is
      the opposite of the real meaning.

example:
...where on a rough, hard bed, he sobbed himself to sleep. Novel illustration of the tender laws of England. They let the paupers go to sleep.

Slide 24 - Diapositive

 Is Dickens representative of the period ( Victorian era) he lived in?

    He is a clear representative of the Victorian period. His father spent too much money
    had large debts and was sent to prison for that. The rest of the family was sent to
    The WORKHOUSE. BAD LIVING CIRCUMSTANCES. Charles(12) had to work in a shoe
    blackening factory for three years CHILD LABOUR
. DICKENS EXPERIENCED THESE TERRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCES HIMSELF 
    He wrote for his own class (identification) and to make sure richer people
    also learned about bad circumstances of the poor classes.
