Hard Times (1854), dickens has constructed an almost entirely mechanized world of people, ideas and environments.

2. Tempi difficili è un romanzo di critica sociale scritto da
Charles Dickens, scrittore inglese vissuto tra il 1812 e il 1870 .
Apparso a puntate su una rivista di proprietà dello stesso
Dickens, il romanzo racconta alcuni aspetti della realtà
socioeconomica che si poteva osservare nella seconda parte
dell’800 nelle aree industriali dell’Inghilterra.
Il romanzo viene pubblicato nel 1854. Fino a quel momento
Dickens aveva osservato diverse piccole città industriali nella
zona di Manchester ed era rimasto sconvolto dalle dure
condizioni di vita degli operai.
3. Sceglie però di ambientare il suo romanzo in una città
immaginaria. Lo fa per due ragioni:
-per non citare direttamente una realtà specifica.
-per rendere la sua città immaginaria un emblema della
situazione generale, cioè un esempio, una raffigurazione
rappresentativa del mondo reale.
4. La mentalità generale dell’Inghilterra del XIX secolo si basa,
secondo Dickens, sui concetti di materialismo e utilitarismo. Questi
principi dicono che ciò che conta nell’organizzazione della società e
nell’educazione delle nuove generazioni sono i “fatti”: si lavora per
produrre, bisogna produrre sempre di più, se la fabbrica produce
saranno felici sia i proprietari che gli operai. In base a questa
visione del mondo i fatti valgono più dei valori morali e spirituali, e
anche delle emozioni. Sono i fatti concreti, le statistiche, i piani
industriali, e non i fatti del pensiero, l’immaginazione e la creatività,
a reggere le strutture della società e a promuovere il benessere
sociale.
5. L’allontanamento dai valori morali e spirituali, dalle emozioni e
dall’immaginazione in favore di una visione della realtà basata sui crudi fatti dà
impulso al disprezzo tra le persone: i proprietari di industrie disprezzano i
lavoratori e i lavoratori disprezzano i proprietari delle industrie.
Un episodio tratto dal romanzo che racconta di come i valori abbiano ormai un
valore relativo è questo:
Il maestro di Coketown chiede a una giovane studente, una ragazza che proviene
dal mondo del circo, quale sia il primo principio dell’economia politica. Lei
inaspettatamente gli risponde: fai agli altri ciò che vorresti fosse fatto a te. Il
maestro interpreta questa visione del mondo come un esempio di egoismo.
6. Dickens ha un’opinione negativa di un certo tipo di
capitalisti industriali. Il proprietario della fabbrica è un
industriale, un banchiere e un commerciante dal carattere
presuntuoso, che non esprime mai sentimenti profondi,
nemmeno verso il suo unico amico e la sua famiglia. Ripete
spesso di essere un uomo sorto dai bassifondi, che è diventato
ricco con le sue sole forze, ma questa versione verrà
contraddetta dalla madre ricca alla fine del libro, in cui egli è
pubblicamente umiliato.
7. Dickens critica anche i sindacati, perché secondo le vicende
che egli ha conosciuto può succedere che gli operai che non
aderiscono al sindacato siano emarginati all’interno della
fabbrica. Ad esempio uno dei protagonisti del romanzo è un
operaio che viene accusato di aver rubato nella banca di
Coketown. Nessuno pensa che sia colpevole, ma siccome la sua
è una voce fuori dal coro durante le assemblee sindacali,
nessuno dei colleghi si schiera dalla sua parte.
