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.
