On the topic of new money, we have the character Mr. Bounderby in mind. He is the perfect example of the new aged money maker in this story. Mr. Bounderby makes his money off of the factories; the same way most of the people who lived in the town of Coke had made their money. One could also consider Mr. Bounderby to be apart of the high class. He is a very wealthy man compared to most of the people from Coke Town. Mr. Bounderby was also a very well known and respected person in his community. Yet, don’t let his money fool you, because Mr. Bounderby came from the so called, “gutter”. He was not from a very wealthy family when growing up as a child, but as he got older and wiser; Mr. Bounderby became a hard working citizen and ma

The tone of the story is based on the life style of the people. The tone is sort of set on this basis of letting things be the way they are. In other words, the people seem to go with the flow of things as the way they are. If things are going the way they always go, then why should they change them? That is the tone that they show me throughout the story.

With all that is going on in the story, there seems to be a type of poetic justice in all that is happening towards the end of the story. With this there is Stephen Blackpool who is this very nice middle class person who does not seek trouble with anybody, but in the end of the story Mr. Blackpool dies. The story tells us that Mr. Bounderby will die and leave his family a legal mess that his family will struggle with. Who would have thought that Mr.Bounderby, this wonderful middle class person who was a hard working and intellectual man would leave a mess like this behind? Then there is Sissy Jupe who had this bad family life growing up, but now she will have this wonderful happy family life that she has always had dreamed about.

We also seem to see some sort of remorse from Mr. Tom Gradgrind for not listening to his daughter’s real feelings. He had only thought about what he had thought was best for his daughter and not what she might have wanted. After Tom realizes what he had done to his daughter Louisa, he dies.

A character that might represent the lower class would be Miss. Sleary. Miss. Sleary had been married to her first husband who later died
