Document Summary

At the novel"s core is long-running litigation in england"s court of chancery, jarndyce v. Jarndyce, which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. Dicken attacks the legal system of britain at the time. It was very slow at the time and had many flaws: bleak house can be referred to as a dirrect assault on the chancery. God and religion has no role in the story. Everyone bleakhouse is affected by the sickness of the law. Everyone in the story suffers an ill fate. Two families are in the centre of the story and two wills are. Dickens speak a lot about the courtroom drama and how we can"t see it. It is very boring: shows a lot of courtroom fuss, and a bunch of people socializing with the chancery. The adults in the novel act like unresponisble children. Bleak house provides us a perspective of the law: legal realism. It is a dark place and the lawyers are not knowledgable.
