"Hard Times" is regarded as one of Dickens' darker novels. It introduces the character of Thomas Gradgrind. Like many of Dickens' characters, Gradgrind's name tells the reader much of what they need to know. As schoolmaster Gradgrind says, "Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir " Gradgrind's factual upbringing dooms his children, Tom and Louisa, in different ways. The book is set in "Coketown," an industrial city. Because of its treatment of the role of factory work, as well as education, in society, "Hard Times" was thought to be a "socialist" work at the time of its publication. It was also written during a time when Dickens was experiencing trouble in his own marriage, and it features a number of unhappy couples and much family discord. Less popular at its publication than many of other Dickens' works, "Hard Times" remains one of the most-taught of Dickens' major books, possibly because of the group, it is the shortest.

評分1、奥威尔 （1）狄更斯不是“无产阶级”作家。他从不写无产阶级，在这点上他和古往今来的绝大多数小说家一样。如果要在小说，尤其是英国小说中寻找工人阶级的身影，最后只能是徒劳。狄更斯小说的中心情节几乎总是发生在中产阶级环境中。仔细研究他的小说，你会发现它们真正的题...
評分关于circus，american horror story season 4也可以一看，同样充满人文关怀 愿你可以不带偏见地对待每一个人，把每一个人当成一个完整的人看待 “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” 最后tom逃脱的时候，你看到之后想的是”天啊，这个...
