Charles Dickens’ “Hard Times” as a Satiric Novel
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing Dickens’ “Hard Times” as a satiric novel. British author Charles Dickens (1812-1870) wrote his satiric novel “Hard Times” in 1854 in serial form from April 1 to August 12 in the magazine “Household Words”. During the publication of the series, the magazine’s popularity and circulation doubled thus providing a forum through which Dickens could portray the horrid conditions of the life in factory towns in England and Europe. The satirical elements and characters throughout the novel highlight the contrasts within England during the industrial revolution as while the rich and educated within the country portrayed and believed that England (and Europe) was advanced in regards to its scientific and industrial revolution in addition to the superiority of the education of its people and its “rational” thought, most of the countrymen actually lived in squalor, were poorly treated and more so, were poorly educated (Alexander, 2003). Dickens successfully manages to combine, contrast and create an interplay of tension between the satiric characters and stories of Gradgrind and Bounderby with those who receive the sympathy of the readers, necessary for the characterization and moral development expected within a novel, in the characters and stories of Sissy Jupe and Stephen Blackpool.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Charles Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities” and the Hidden Courage and Conviction of Common People
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses “A Tale of Two Cities” from the perspective that it was the circumstances that made life so difficult that were also the
conditions that allowed individuals the conviction and courage to move beyond ordinary action making it the “best of times and the worst of times.” While the book serves as an example of the
inequities in society that lead to revolution and the virtually impenetrable barrier that exists between the “haves” and “have-nots,” it also acts as a means through which Dickens expresses the fact that at some point in the life of even a
“disappointed drudge,” an opportunity presents itself through which a person may rise to a greater level of compassionate action than even he or she would have thought possible. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Charlotte Brontë and Jane Eyre as Feminists
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper
discussing Jane Eyre as a revolutionary and feminist work. Superficially, Jane Eyre does
not appear to be a feminist novel. Jane is employed in a traditional female position of
governess and is dependent on men for her subsistence. These circumstances change, but
her intelligence, dedication to insisting on living according to her own choices and
assumption of the equality of all people do not. Jane's approach to life radically differed
from that of the rest of Victorian England. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
