Krátky popis
‘We're their slaves as long as we can work, we pile up their
fortunes with the sweat of our brows, and yet we are to live as
separate as if we were in two worlds...’ Based in the industrial
unrest of 1840s Manchester, Mary Barton is a factory-worker's
daughter living a working-class life in Victorian England. She soon
attracts the attentions of the mill-owner's son, Harry Carson, and
in the hope that marrying him will improve her prospects and help
her to transcend class boundaries, she rejects her former lover Jem
Wilson. However, when Harry is shot the main suspect is Jem and
Mary finds herself torn between the two men. At the same time, she
discovers that her father, John Barton, who has been active in
fighting for the rights of his fellow workers is implicated in the
murder. Gaskell's exploration of the class division and the
oppression of the working-class is demonstrated effectively through
the character of Mary, highlighting how lack of communication and
mistrust can arise through such vast differences in lifestyle and
wealth.&,nbsp,
