Answer:

Many of his characters were based on real people and their lives. That made people understand his stories more, and reflect on what Britain was like at that time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Human nature hasn't changed in the last two centuries, so Dickens' examination of that nature and the human condition is just as true today as when he wrote it. That's what makes classics classic. When one reads Dickens, Shakespeare, or Austen, it is obvious that these were observant writers who could create on the page people as real as the readers. It also doesn't hurt that he was a brilliant writer. His characters, use of language, and stories are eternal.Many of his characters were based on real people and their lives.
