| Hard Times | comment |
Hard Times is a novel by Charles Dickens, which savagely and relentlessly rips apart the school of Utilitarianism and its applications to the working man. Mr. Gradgrind dictates that the school of his little town shall teach nothing but facts — strict and severe, exact and all-encompassing. He indoctrinates this teaching in his two children, Louisa and Thomas.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Meanwhile, Stephen Blackpool, one of the dehumanized "Hands" who work in the town's factories, is living a hard life, and merely trying to get by, while staying close to his dear Rachael and avoiding the threatening unions.In short, times are hard. | |

Divorce Requires Death | |
| Hard Times / int_4fc172d5 | comment |
Divorce Requires Death: For all intents and purposes, given that the novel appeared well before divorce laws were liberalized. As Bounderby explains, a divorce requires an Act of Parliament, which Stephen can hardly afford. | |

Assimilation Academy: M'Choakumchild's school, where only facts are taught and wonder is discouraged. Gradgrind raises his children in this manner too. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
| Hard Times / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: Louisa does this to Gradgrind after Bounderby's marriage proposal, but Gradgrind thinks she's complimenting him on his parenting skills. When she does it again while revealing the truth about her marriage, though, he gets the point. | |
