Answers
The story little match girl reflects the theme of class differentiation through character of the little girl, who was sent by her father to sell up the matches in the cold chilly weather at the evening night inspite of the fact that she has no proper warm clothes , she was in a tortured clothes,moreover she was so hungry enough with no shoes and proper clothing .
But., the most important thing is that it was the last evening of the year i.e 31st December.
This reflects the poor philosophy of life during the Victorian period.
During , the Victorian era , begging along road side was illegal , so children used to sell matches in compensation to begging.
The bad conditions of the poor people was shown through the housing condition of little girl , which has only floor and no proper roof, moreover there was some holes in the walls ,which was closed by old tortured clothes , rags .
During this time the condition of poor people was so poor that they have no food to eat and proper shelter to live and they were living a hungry life with too much poverty.
At the end of the story , the little girl was unable to earn the single peny so that her family can also celebrate the new year day,and was being afraid of going home because of being beaten by her father.
She sat down against the wall and because of too much cold and hunger the little girl died away.
The rich people were enjoying a pleasant life, they have no kindness,sympathy and cooperation towards the poor ones.
This reflects the class differentiation during the Victorian age.
