Домби и сын (Dombey and Son)

His character arc is so tragic and layered, making me wonder what inspired Dickens to make Dombey's flaws so central to the story.

The book's richness is incredible, but I found myself occasionally lost — was that intentional to mirror the complexity of society?

The depiction of class and the struggle to rise or fall within society feels very pointed — does it still resonate today?
