The Square Man
Captions available
The idea
The description gives a square forefinger, a square wall of a forehead, a square coat, square legs and square shoulders. One adjective, five times, for one man. Dickens is not running short of words; he is making a person out of a single shape.
In practice
One adjective, five times.
Where people slip
The repetition is the portrait.
