Question

why did Charles Dickens write about the terrible effects of industrialisation on people's lives and characters give one reason

Answer 1

Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.

Answer 2

Hello friend,

Charles Dicken was from the mid British era which meant that he witnessed industrialization with his own eyes. He saw how women were ripped off individualism and their rights of security. He witnessed children being pushed towards slavery and injustice. Peoples lives became hell, in short.

The effects were supposed to be positive , in return they were negative and effected adversely on the character of people.They have lost the sense of right and wrong.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks
