It also was adapted into an incredibly faithful, 8.5 ''hour'' long stage production by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1980.

* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Nicholas Nickleby often dishes these out to those who wronged those he cares about. For example, Wackford Squeers, who is often known for sadistically beating children, gets the living daylights beaten out of him by Nicholas. Another example is that Sir Mulberry Hawk, who for much of the novel tries to humiliate Kate and therefore damaging her good name, ends up being humiliated himself when Nicholas' attack over him results in a crash that leaves him injured. Needless to say, Hawk [[VillainousBreakdown does not take it well and plans to seek revenge]].
