Answer:

The metaphor he uses is "this chopping of civilized life", in which he means that you are forced along whatever current is controlling you and you have no control. A similar metaphor is located in lines 199-209, which are "the surface of the Earth" and "the path which the mind follows". Just like the first one talks about how you are controlled by an established current, these show that the human mind is easily influenced similar to how the Earth's ground is easily shaped and marked by the steps taken by otehrs. These state issues of non-individuality and how we don't develop our own ideas.

vazorg [7]

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.
