The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist” point out the following two traits of British society during the industrial revolution.
1.a lack of regard for life among the working class
3. the employment of children for hazardous tasks
Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.
Answer:
The two lines are:
And we are here as on a darkening plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight
Explanation:
From the excerpt, the above set of lines actually suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith.
This is true because from the passage, the speaker reveals that there is a world that lies before them like a land of dream which they see as beautiful and new. The speaker discovers that the world has neither joy, nor peace, nor love, nor help for pain and then realizes that they are "on a darkening plain" and "swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight". It means that what they expected from the world they saw as land of dream wasn't what they actually found it out to be.
This then suggests that the speaker has undergone loss of hope.
Answer:
Why would you need to know this? Even if this is part of an assignment, which I highly doubt, we could not answer it, because it is asking for what <em>you</em> pass on the way home.
