Abstract :
The synopsis of this story is started from a rich man called Thomas Gradgrind, who believes in hard facts and no nonsense. Gradgrind and Bounderby are leading citizens of Coketown, a dark, polluted industrial town. Gradgrind insists on 'Facts' and nothing else'. The novel juxtaposes the frenzied pursuit of facts and figures with actual human suffering, in Stephen, in Rachael, in Louisa, in Mrs Gradgrind, which cannot, we are constantly told, be measured or statistically analysed. Dickens asserts that the 'enormous vice' of utilitarian extremists threatens to deny the entire human world by reducing it to abstractions.
