Why was Dickens accused of following antisemitic stereotypes in his writing?
<|assistant|>
Dickens was accused of following antisemitic stereotypes in his writing because many of his works contain stereotypically Jewish characters that perpetuate antisemitic tropes. For example, some of his characters had greedy and money-grubbing personalities and were often seen as exploitative, usurious individuals. These types of portrayals have historically been used to demonize Jewish people and create an atmosphere of hostility towards them.
