Unemployment rose dramatically in the UK throughout the 1970s and 1980s, hitting over 3 million by 1983, with Northern Ireland, Northern England, and Scotland seeing especially high rates of over 20%. The song "Take a Letter Miss Jones" from the play depicts the difficult conditions faced by working class people in industrial cities like Liverpool during this time. The writer uses the interaction between a secretary and her boss, Mr. Lyons, to showcase the divide between social classes and convey the message that the working classes were struggling while others prospered.

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in England and had a difficult childhood after his father was sent to debtors' prison. This led Dickens to work in factories as a child and influenced his later works. The paper examines three of Dickens' novels: Great Expectations focuses on social class and inheritance; A Christmas Carol criticizes poor treatment of workers; and David Copperfield draws on Dickens' own experiences growing up. All three novels highlight various social and political issues of the Victorian era like child labor, low wages, and lack of regulations that Dickens witnessed firsthand.

This led him to become a voice for social reform through his novels, calling for better treatment of the poor and children. His books A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist all illustrate themes of social inequality and affirm that kindness, community, and helping the less fortunate are beneficial for society. Dickens spent time advocating for children and donating to charities, seeing it as everyone's responsibility to ensure all people are cared for.
