1 Questions

1. 'Hard Times' is a novel about the social condition of poverty, though very little characters are considered poor. Do you think the book does an effective job of shaping our view of poverty?

Mrs. Sparsit illustrates the transition from a social hierarchy in which aristocrats hold the power to one in which the wealthy middle class holds the power.The novel follows a classical tripartite structure, and the titles of each book are related to Galatians 6:7, 'For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' Book I is entitled 'Sowing', Book II is entitled 'Reaping', and the third is 'Garnering.'By centering his book on characters with whom his middle class readers could identify, Dickens was able to evoke sympathy for characters whom they may not otherwise be able to identify with. However, the book could also reinforce the ideas that the middle class has about the working poor and offers no real solutions.By exposing Bounderby as a fraud who did not actually start from nothing, as he so often claims, Dickens questions the validity of that entire justification for poverty. Moreover, Dickens raises the question of whether the self-made man owes anything to the rest of society.
