Résumé : |
This present work seeks to investigate the refractions of the social behaviour of the
Victorian industrial society on fictitious characters in Charles Dickens‗s Hard Time
(1854). In other words, it aims at depicting the traces of the real Victorian lifestyle on
characters in one of the greatest Dickensian novels; which some critics view as a
dazzling unique masterpiece due to its philosophical, psychological and linguistic
depth. It, therefore, depicts the reflections of the social environment on the
psychological and behavioural structure of the character. The main reasons that
triggered this research are two-fold. First, to decipher the Sociological perplexity of
this novel. Second, to spot and unveil Charles Dickens‘s talent in depicting these
reflections. In so doing, it is necessary to shed light on the major characteristics of the
Victorian Era. Based on the survey of the social background of the Victorian era and
the descriptive analytical methods of characters, it becomes clear that the relationship
between characters and society is dialectical and reciprocal. The characters affect and
are affected by society. |
