Hard Times: Struggle of Fact vs Imagination and Struggle Between Two Classes
Charles Dickens' novel, Hard Times, is a story of two struggles--the
struggle of fact versus imagination and the struggle between two classes. It
takes place in Coketown, and industrial-age English city. The novel is divided
into two sections. One deals with the struggle of upper class members of

involves a working class man who is trapped by those in that upper class who
trap him in a dreary existence.
