Hard Times
It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys … inhabited by people equally like one another, who all went in and out at the same hours.. \\r\\n\\r\\nTo do the same work, and to whom every day was the same as yesterday and tomorrow…\\\' Charles Dicken\\\'s Hard Tames is a satirical portrayal of the deleterious effect of the Industrial Revolution and Caitalism. \\r\\nFollowing the lives of its unforgettable characters- master of fact, Thomas Grasgrind -, heartless and perverse Bounderby, tragic Louisa, fanciful Sissy, honourable Stephen, selfish Tom, and the pesky Mrs. Sparsit- the narrative bemoans the extermiation ofimagination, coripsity, and enjoyment, the dehumanisation and suffering of workers, and the spread of rampant greed and dishonesty. \\r\\nPlaced in juxtaposition to this potrayal of the times in the enteraining Sleary\\\'s Circus Troupe, the only glimmer of a yearning for joice de vivre.
