The terrible effects of industrialisation on peoples live

Explanation:

  • Hard Times was the tenth novel written by Charles Dickens. It was published in 1854. The process of industrialization and its impact on the labor force was the main theme of this novel. Set in the backdrop of a fictional industrial town in Coketown, the novel depicts the state of the then cities which were full of machinery, chimneys and smoke. The workers of the industries were considered as the 'hands' of the industries.

  • The economic pressures of that time limited man only to the means of production. One of his other novels, Oliver Twist, also revolves around a similar theme to the consequences of industrialization. Thus, Dickens proved that the prevailing idea of utilitarianism which believed in the "greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people" actually leads to the misery of many others or the happiness of influential workers. leads to sorrow.
