Conclusion on chapter II 
In conclusion, the second chapter of this coursework explored the character of 
Mr. Jingle and his actions in «The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club». Mr. 
Jingle serves as a foil to Mr. Pickwick, and his actions highlight the darker side of 
human nature. Through the character of Mr. Jingle, Dickens emphasizes the 
importance of integrity and honesty, and the impact that unethical behavior can have 
on others. Additionally, Mr. Jingle’s character serves as a cautionary tale about the 
consequences of selfish behavior. His actions cause harm to those around him and 
ultimately lead to his own downfall. Dickens uses Mr. Jingle’s character to 
demonstrate that while unethical behavior may provide short-term gains, it will 
ultimately lead to negative consequences in the long run. The character of Mr. Jingle 
is a powerful reminder that our actions have consequences, and that it is important 
to consider the impact of our behavior on those around us. In conclusion, the 
exploration of Mr. Jingle’s actions in chapter 2 of this coursework highlights the 
importance of ethical behavior in creating a better society for all. The contrast 
between Mr. Jingle’s actions and Mr. Pickwick’s behavior emphasizes the need for 
ethical behavior in society. Overall, the novel is a powerful reminder of the 
importance of actions and behavior in shaping our lives and the world around us.

CONCLUSION 
«The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club» is a novel that showcases 
Charles Dickens’s remarkable ability to weave together a compelling narrative with 
a powerful message about the importance of ethical behavior. The theme of actions 
and behavior is central to the novel, and Dickens masterfully uses humor, satire, and 
social commentary to explore this theme. Through the experiences of his characters, 
Dickens highlights the consequences of both positive and negative actions, and 
offers insights into the complexities of human behavior. 
The novel also serves as a commentary on Victorian society, particularly its 
class and economic inequalities. Through the character of Sam Weller, Dickens 
draws attention to the struggles of the working class, while the experiences of Mr. 
Pickwick and his friends highlight the importance of friendship, loyalty, and 
personal responsibility. Additionally, the moments of redemption experienced by 
characters like Mr. Jingle offer hope and inspiration for readers. 
«The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club» remains a beloved classic that 
continues to entertain and enlighten readers today. Its message about the importance 
of ethical behavior and personal responsibility is as relevant today as it was in 
Dickens’s time, and serves as a reminder to readers that our actions have 
consequences and that we all have a role to play in building a just and equitable 
society. Throughout the novel, Dickens uses humor to comment on the behavior of 
his characters and to draw attention to societal issues. For example, the character of 
Sam Weller, Mr. Pickwick’s valet, is a working-class character who speaks in a 
distinctive dialect. Sam’s behavior and language are often the source of humor in 
the novel, but they also reveal the social and economic inequalities of Victorian 
England. 
Another aspect of the theme of actions and behavior in the novel is the concept 
of redemption. Several of the characters in the novel, including Mr. Jingle and Mr. 
Pickwick, experience moments of self-reflection and growth. Mr. Jingle, for 
example, eventually renounces his life of deception and becomes an honest and 
successful businessman. These moments of redemption highlight the potential for
