Description
Character Name
Pickwick
,
Samuel
Character Description
Founder
and
general
chairman
of the
Pickwick
Club
, a
retired
merchant
with
independent
means
,
perhaps
the
most
famous
of
Dickens'
characters
. A
casual
observer
might
possibly
have
remarked
nothing
extraordinary
in the
bald
head
and
circular
spectacles
-
to those
who
knew
that the
gigantic
brain
of
Pickwick
was
working
beneath
that
forehead
, and that the
beaming
eyes
of
Pickwick
were
twinkling
behind
these
glasses
, the
sight
was
indeed
interesting
one.
.. and how
much
more
interesting
did
the
spectacle
become
when
,
starting
into
full
life
and
animation
, as a
simultaneous
call
for
Pickwick
burst
from his
followers
, the
illustrious
man
slowly
mounted
into the
Windsor
chair
on
which
he had been
previously
seated
, and
addressed
the
Club
himself
had
founded
. What a
study
for an
artist
did
that
exciting
scene
present
. The
eloquent
Pickwick
, with
one
hand
gracefully
concealed
behind
his
coat
tails
, and the
other
waving
in
air
to
assist
his
glowing
declamation
; his
elevated
position
revealing
these
tights
and
gaiters
which
, had they
clothed
an
ordinary
man
,
might
have
passed
without
observation
, but
which
,
when
Pickwick
clothed
them
-
if
we
may
use
the
expression
-
inspired
voluntary
awe
and
respect
