About This Novel

"Hard Times" first raises a big and difficult problem for us: the materialization process of people no longer being people but gradually becoming machines. From the beginning, the novel "Hard Times" shows readers a picture of Britain in the 19th century enthusiastically embracing the advent of the industrial age. At this time, people, affected by the advent of the industrial age, are gradually turning into machines, and normal human emotions and thoughts have been abandoned. The performance of the protagonist Grad Grint and his follower Bondby in the novel fully illustrates this point. Grad Grint educates and reminds his children every moment to pay attention to the fact that humans are gradually turning into machines. Bounderby went further. He basically practiced it and treated his workers indifferently and treated them as objects in the factory he ran. Cruelly exploiting and exploiting them for their own benefit. In Chapter 5 of the first volume of this book, the author draws a parallel between the factory workers and the children of Grad Grint. The living conditions of people on both sides are almost the same. They repeat monotonous and unchanging work every day, without joy, let alone happiness. The result is that the factory workers and Grad Grint's children have no imagination, and their emotional lives are not talked about, much less valued. It is obvious that they have become cold machines themselves.
