Dickens is a deft story-weaver, he can thread many themes plots and morals into said story, but prevails throughout the entire book. Though it's hard to put a name to the concept, "home is where the heart is", "family comes first", ...etc, they all bear the same meaning. Never be ashamed of your home, it defines who you are, never let money come first- it will consume you. There comes a time in many a young one's life when he becomes embarrassed of his home (I know I have), but i have never let it consume me and drive me to break all ties with the place from witch I hail. Others let the embarrassment seethe and fester into hatred, and eventually lose any sense of belonging which they once possessed, while others still are able to shrug it off, and realize, home is where the heart is.
