Dickens elegantly depicts many things in this book, most of all the protagonist. David Copperfield narrates his tale from early childhood well into adulthood, and I think that Dickens's writing does a stunning job at making the change in voice over time convincing. However, I often found myself losing focus on the story, no doubt largely because of the book's mammoth length.
