Utilitarianism in Dickens' "Hard Times"

"A difficult age" is a wonderful story, but when people think about the reality behind the work, the novel becomes a masterpiece. Because Utilitarianism is the main idea of ​​the Victorian era, this novel is very important. Utilitarianism, "The form of freedom and equality that will create the greatest happiness depends on education, politics, economics, social structure" (Harris). Everything is explained by logic and facts. The reader can easily find out that Dickens was teasing this theory, but the exciting thing is how he achieved it through the role.

Dickens' industrialization and Utilitarianism Charles Dickens of difficult times used his virtual town of the Hard Times to express the British industrialization of those days. However, most of these symptoms are not explained exactly compared to the actual situation of the industrialization process. - The Impact of William Blake's Industrialization William Black's London "London" is an example of black disapproval of the changes that occurred during his life. In his work 'Song of Experience', Black explains the industrial revolutionary dilemma in his poem "London" he brought to himself and the destruction of the relationship between ordinary people and land. He stated that Thames and the streets of the street are dominated by "privileged" or commercial interests, he calls "handcuffs for psychomotorism", and on the face of everyone is "a trace of weakness, of sorrow There was a trace ". We talked about "every cry of everyone" and "voice of fear of every baby".

Finally, Utilitarian bombs of Victorian England existed in difficult times of Dickens. Doug Gradgrind described by Dickens is a "very practical" person (8) who is trapped in facts and is convinced that the only way to live is reason. Emotions, imagination, loss of mind, facts and reasons are not the only things. As this education is totally unhappy, he raised children through this philosophy and its consequences. In today's world, schools pay excessive attention to science and facts. It is ridiculous to think that religious discussion is not allowed. Why are they doing this? If we are allowed to teach and discuss scientific customs or more specific Darwinism then why then ban religious discussions? After all, today's Darwinism itself is almost regarded as religion. Is it because these religions are based on faith rather than facts? Of course this seems like Utilitarianism to me. Only facts, nothing else
