This novel is relatively short, the characters are not many, but the author Dickens with such a short story to fully develop the plot, the novel tells some of the major happened coking coal town, where people are very respected the fact that even for the oppression of the normal emotions, to reject all fantasy, it can be said that in the part of the inhuman, feeling and people's normal life, people rejected the emotion, will inevitably bring about problems, the people inside the final outcome can be said to be more miserable.
Firstly, Mr. Gradgrind said, the president said opening to educate their children to get everything out non reality beyond, however, his education, and not be able to educate their children, he finally eat the bitter fruit, aware of this mistake.
As for the two children Gradgrind's daughter Luisa, this is a kind of person but because be clever and sensible, education, loss of innocence, on the other hand she is very naive, her brother Moorhouse and Hird use. On the whole, she was very miserable, thinking of the girl who was gazing at the fire in front of her at night, and her heart was broken.
When his son, Tom, left his parents, he was eager to give vent to his dissatisfaction with the education. He wanted to indulge himself, enjoy life, and even use his beloved sister, and finally went back to the road of no return.
Have a girl, sissy, this is a happy girl, she did not yield to this kind of education, although in the beginning she has been scolded, but she insisted on their own dreams, eventually obtain happiness.
The description is very characteristic, such as the beginning of Gradgrind appearance description, he said what is boxy, it can see what kind of person he is.
From the background, it is estimated that the author wrote this article to satirize the fact that people in society at that time paid too much attention to facts and abandoned their emotions.
The author of the novel for thorough Britain in the middle of the nineteenth Century Manchester industrial status based on the observation, and the profound reflection on the capitalist society of the human condition, typical characterized by vivid description of the actual life and the character of the moral standard of the bourgeoisie of the powerful attack and bitter irony. A true description of the industrial town of coking coal town life, reflects the sharp contradiction between capitalists and workers, and the corrupt nature of the capitalist educational system by repressive youth, a considerable social value and aesthetic value of art.
After reading this article, you can feel as a humanist Dickens believe that human nature is good and plasticity, in his criticism of capitalism and capitalist utilitarianism and politicians out of life at the same time, they ignored the essence of human goodness for some correction and criticism. At the same time, Dickens was sympathetic to the tragic fate of the oppressed class, praising their diligence and love, he did not approve of the political struggles of workers, reflects his tender sentiments and feelings to education to promote the understanding of the bourgeois reformism thought.
"Tell you what, I ask for the truth.". Don't teach the boys and girls anything but the facts. Only the facts are the most important. In addition, what all don't cultivate, all the uprooted. To exercise the intelligence of a rational animal, one must use the fact; that nothing else is of any use to them. This is the principle that I have when I educate my children, the principles that I use to educate these children. Hold fast to the facts, sir!" This is the "hard times" begins with an abstract description of the image and show superimposed impression on the reader. "These children" refer to the boys and girls of the so-called "model school". Dickens uses his comic style concise outline of the image of Mr. fingers, eyes, mouth, hair, neck, shoulder and dress in action, strengthen the emphasis on the facts. Mr. Gradgrind is both a believer and propagandist of utilitarianism and "fact" philosophy, as well as the executor and defender of feudal paternalism. His family life and family education is in a secluded hut in fact based only facts and function. The principles, contents, and methods of Mr. Gradgrind in school and family education can be summed up in facts, calculations, fantasy, and innocence. The root of his child's misfortunes was the victims of Gradgrind's "philosophy of fact" and "model" education.
The two main characters "hard times" described in two, around two people launched the two clues, the two aspects of ideological performance. One is Gradgrind, and the other is Bounderby. Bounderby stands for industrial capitalists, not interested in education, only interested in practical interests. He told workers improperly people, but only as a "hand" and can drive the work of animal behavior led to his people.
The structure of the whole article in the way of the trilogy, the plot slowly forward, gradually deepen the theme, the author take it leisurely and unoppressively irresistible, the logic of life, "and another," portrait of characters, language skill, and often beyond all expectations reasonable figures in language use are reduced when we read the the sense of alienation and boredom, we are attracted to this article research.
Just read Dickens's "hard times", a strong impulse is to write "Dickens women".
Dickens is really an extraordinary talent for shaping women's characters. It is not difficult to draw such a conclusion as long as he opens any of Dickens's novels. In the "hard times, I statistics, women have played Louisa, Rachael, sissy, Mrs. Space and his rare Mrs. Gradgrind and Mrs. Paigela et al. Every woman here is endowed with a distinct color and personality by Dickens. They are of different ages, different ideas, different ways of doing things, tone and purpose are different, under Dickens's pen vivid to show.
This is only a novel in Dickens's fourteen novels.
It's hard to see yet another writer who can do that. At least I didn't see any other writer who could have created so many female characters in my reading. I think of Balzac, and Balzac has created a lot of female images, but there are not as many memorable women as Ou Yeni. At least in this regard, Dickens gave me the impression is very outstanding, especially after reading the "hard times".
Moreover, unlike other writers, for example, Balzac, Balzac's ambition is to create a world or society that is entirely his own through nearly a hundred novels. In Balzac, the law of social development played a leading role in the human comedy, but Dickens relied entirely on the evolution of character as a lever to promote his novels. It's a very different direction of creation. The two have charm, two charm are hard to compete.
All successful writers have his success. Dickens's success, I think is his strong character of the mold, beyond any of his contemporaries.
In Dickens's novels, "hard times" is a short. Space tests structure. As far as the novel is concerned, I feel it is the novel with the most succinct structure of Dickens. From Gradgrind's appearance, sissy father's home, and married Louisa Bounderby, Stephen and Rachael unspeakable love, Hird to seduce Space, Louisa housz Mrs. night track, Tom finally exposed to the crime of theft and so on a series of stories, with quite lively brushwork outlines. Each detail corresponds to the later events, not only for the pleasure of reading, but also for the openness and delicacy of Dickens's brushwork. Moreover, when the novel settles down, it is everywhere surprising and everywhere reasonable.
