Krátky popis
‘It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red
if the smoke and ashes had allowed it, but as matters stood, it was
a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a
savage.’ Set in fictitious Coketown, England during the Industrial
Revolution of the 1850s, Dickens wished to expose the enormous gulf
between the rich and poor through his writing. In Hard Times, the
social and moral purpose of his work is at its most evident. Openly
ironic and satirical in its tone, Dickens suggests a mechanization
of society, where the wealthy are ruthless and uncharitable towards
those less fortunate than themselves. Siblings Louisa and Tom
Gradgrind are raised by their father, a harsh and pragmatic
educator and his influence means that they go on to lead lives that
are lacking in all areas. Louisa marries the arrogant and greedy
Josiah Bounderby, ending in an unhappy pairing and the unfeeling
and villainous Tom robs his own brother-in-law’s bank. As their
father watches their plight, he realises that his own principles
may have led to their downfall.&,nbsp,
