Bleak House: Justice Served Bleak House written by Charles Dickens is a depiction of the corruption of the English justice system as the author clearly sets out to criticize the cornerstones of the nation. Through his novel, Dickens redeems the idea of ​​justice by inserting Inspector Bucket into the plot as a spokesperson for people seeking the truth. Dickens presents the detective/policeman as the symbol of true justice who serves the law with good intentions on behalf of the people. The contrast between these two types of justice systems is that Inspector Bucket serves the law in the true interest of the people while the Court lawyers do so for their own personal gain and interests. The Jarndyce and Jarndyce case is the main factor where these differences can be observed. Through the confrontation between the Court of Chancery and its lawyers represented by Tulkinghorn and Vholes with the detective/police represented by Inspector Bucket, Dickens' intentions and opinions are expressed aloud and justice is truly served. In Bleak House, Dickens presents an ironic case that condemns the English legal system which in this case is the Court of Chancery. The Court of Chancery represented the English judicial system and served as the Lord High Chancellor's Keeper of the King's Conscience. The Court of Chancery had authority over all matters of equity which included anything with criminal cases, trusts, land law, wills, guardianships, estates, marriage, and adoption. They had jurisdiction over many of these things to avoid any injustice arising from the common law. Despite their role, the Court is bitter towards their institution while Dickens sets out to criticize their system. In society, the Court of Chancery... at the center of the paper... and justice served them. The contrast between these two types of justice systems is that Inspector Bucket serves the law in the true interest of the people while the Court lawyers do so for their own personal gain and interests. Comparing the Court of Chancery and its members to the detective/police, it is almost as if Dickens had done himself justice by criticizing the English legal institution and modifying it with the justice brought by the respected Inspector Bucket.Works Cited (APA)Primary Literature : Dickens, C.
