So excited you're back, Tristan!!! Such a joy to learn so much from this video!! You're a natural speaker, your explanation is so clearly laid out. Thank you!!😃
That was brilliant! I'm so glad you chose Dickens to exemplify the humors. He also used tags to make a character memorable to readers for his next installment and as a signpost for reaction and plot development; triple genius! It is so much more satisfying when a character meets their doom (or triumph) when we have been guided towards their final fate - Mr Carker's end is particularly memorable.
So very pleased you're back! This exceptional video stirred many aha moments and caused me to happily ruminate on the information you divulged. I almost feel I've learned a secret! Dickens is one of my most beloved authors...and now I feel I've learned an entirely different aspect which will enrich my re-reads. Your presentation is much appreciated!
I have learnt so much from you video presentations. You have greatly increased my understanding and joy of reading classics. I have been semi-illiterate for most of my life as I never went to high school. However with the help of my wife and the Oxford dictionary I am making progress at reading classical literature.
Welcome back, Tristan! Missed your academic lessons on literature. I always wanted to know why Dickens has characters that repeatedly or he would constantly refer to one quality about them. It drove me crazy, but it was quirk about Dickens' characters.
Welcome back Tristan and thanks for the exquisite lecture about Humor and the wonderful tour in the writings of Austin and Dickens. It did stir some long forgotten memories that only the beaded bubbles winking at the brim can stir. Bravo
@@tristanandtheclassics6538 Hi Tristan, I struggling with health issues but I loose myself in books. I am currently reading The count of Montecristo and enjoying it so far. ☺️
Thank you Tristan! I learned something today. This is like a water to a thirsty man. I have another tool to understand characters. This is like a college lecture in which I should have been taking notes. I will look for the humors in my stories from now on. I know about sense and sensibility. Now I know another characteristic. Would you say that Lady C in Pride and Prejudice is a humor?
Same here, I knew a few things that I had gathered along the way but this was really good. I did it the opposite way, I read all of the history books I could find about the time the book was set and then read the book. Sooo good thanks Tristin !!
Brilliant, Tristan. It's so timely for me because I'm re-reading Barnaby Rudge (on audio). I'm thinking Gabriel Varden the locksmith is a "good" humor, while Sir John Chester is the epitome of selfishness. Am I getting that right?
Having the vapors, lose your corset poor dear, there's a humor. I love Joe Gargery, Pip's sister is bombastic? I remember the clerk from Great Expectations that refers to his parent over and over as the "aged parent,", with his small house to resemble a turreted castle with a small cannon on the roof and the fighting boy was another good one.
_Abel Magwitch_ seems to move from humor to major character. Great lecture. If I may be allowed a social comment, so much of the politically correct today are just simply _humors,_ aren't they? I think some call today's humors "NPCs".
Hi Ned, thanks for this comment. I love how you draw a contrast with the modern world from this. There is certainly a scope for humorizing in this world. A return of the great satirists would be a very enjoyable thing to watch today.
So happy you are back Tristan❤
Great to hear from you again.
Are you Iranian?

So pleased it had such a positive effect on you. Literature gets better and better the more we can appreciate its nuances.

I can't tell you how inspiring your comment was. I'm humbled to be a tiny part of your journey. You are a legend! 👍👏😀
That's fantastic! We are so blessed these days to have resources like Tristan's channel. Glad your wife is supportive!
WOW, many congratulations to you and your perseverance. I am always so proud of folks like you that change their lives !!
You are an inspiration sir.
Great to hear about humors. Now I have a new filter with which to enjoy reading. Thank you.

So thrilled that you have returned.🎉

Oh that was rather poetic of you! Pleased you liked the discussion of The Humors. 😀

Yay You are back! This is awesome. I have just been listening to a podcast with Professor John Mullan about Charles Dickens and his humor :)
Hi Kita! Pleased you enjoyed the video. What was the name of the podcast?
Thank you for the video. Would you please consider a video on what constitutes a two dimensional and a three dimensional character? Thanks
Very interesting as usual thanks Tristan for sharing this video.
Hey Charmaine!!! So good to hear from you. How are things? Pleased you enjoyed the video

I knew exactly zero about this topic. This was fascinating. Thanks so much! You almost got me to read Jane Austen. Almost. (One day, I promise!)
Austen is wonderful!😀

Tristan how do I find the way to subscribe to your Patreon acct ? Sorry, I just don't know how to get there, help please !
Welcome back.

Trollope!
Dickrns's humour is lost in translations. One should read him in the original. I like his humour very much.😂
