Heyya Mate!!!

Here's your answer......

Charles Dicken’s (1812 – 1870) ‘Hard Times’ is set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown. Coketown chokes with pollution and people struggle to make ends meet. The upper-middle class ignore the misery and poverty completely, engrossed in their own lives.

There is no scope for and creativity or imagination for the poor people of Coketown, as each one is running around, trying to earn a living. Charles Dickens writes about the negative effect of industrialisation and mechanisation and brings it out through the central character of Sissy Juppe, who tries to find a balance between reality and imagination.

Answer:

(i) Charles Dickens wrote about the terrible effects of industrialisation on people’s lives and characters. His novel Hard Times (1854) describes Coketown, a fictitious industrial town, as a grim place full of machinery, smoking chimneys, rivers polluted purple and buildings that all looked the same. Here workers are known as ‘hands’, as if they had no identity other than as operators of machines.

(ii) Dickens criticised not just the greed for profits, but also the ideas that reduced human beings into simple instruments of production. Dickens focused on the terrible conditions of urban life under industrial capitalism.

(iii) His Oliver Twist (1838) is the tale of a poor orphan who lived in a world of petty criminals and beggars. Brought up in a cruel workhouse, Oliver was finally adopted by a wealthy man and lived happily ever afterRead more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/339290/charles-dickens-depicted-terrible-effects-industrialisation-peoples-characters-examples
