Features: Bleak House is an unfinished novel by Dickens, published in 1870, the year of his death. Like his other works, Bleak House revolves around the struggle between good and evil. The embodiment of goodness is a pair of innocent and upright young lovers, Drud and Rosa, while their direct antagonist is the treacherous and hypocritical Jasper. Jasper, envious of Rosa, conspires to murder Drud and attempts to frame someone else, aiming to achieve two purposes with one arrow. Around this case, the novel unfolds a series of intricate plots. Compared to Dickens' earlier works, Bleak House features enhanced psychological descriptions, and its structure even resembles the detective novels that were just beginning to emerge at the time. Since this is an unfinished work by Dickens, the ending of the novel has become a perpetual mystery in literary history.
