Wilkins Micawber
Wilkins Micawber is a clerk in Charles Dickens's 1850 novel David Copperfield. He is a charming, optimistic, and resilient character who always believes that "something will turn up" to improve his circumstances. Micawber is a complex character who is often seen as a comic figure, but he is also a deeply sympathetic one. He is a victim of his own optimism, but he is also a survivor who never gives up hope.
