Dickens’s fascination with the possibilities of fortune (both in terms of worldly wealth and the future) with human freedom and with ethics can be seen throughout his works. One way in which he could organise his ideas about the confusion of these concepts was through the Wheel of Fortune. The Wheel of Fortune was equally a literary and a visual image‚ used by writers and artists to build on concepts of time‚ money‚ power and morality.
