A Precise Thought on Hunger by Charles Dickens Essay

Great Expectations was published in 1861 when the flowering of the Victorian Age had been at its height. During this period England was disconcert by many problems emanating from the changes in feudal economy that fai direct to withstand the invasion of growing industries, explosion of population ,emergence of slums, unbridled exploitation and the simmering discontent. The theme involves an worried childhood, guilt and imprisonment, ruthlessness of law, the corrupting power of money, and above all, tender loneliness.These themes are worked out by means of contrasts and confrontations the instinctive sense of justice versus the legal arrangement the outcast versus society willed isolation against human commitment, inherited fortunes versus personal achievement. In one sense, it would be proper to call the novel a snobs progress towards self-realisation. On reading the great novel Great Expectations I felt too sympathetic & pity for a little boy called flog by Charles Dickens. He ,from his early childhood had to face and undergone through many circumstances and situations which as if made him stand strong later in his days.The opening rendering of the death of his brother and sister To five little stone lozenges,each about a foot and had never taken them out in this state of existence. Gave us a vivid picture of Dickens close observation on the most vital utterance of life that is food and death. One put up understand easily that it was Dickens extreme irritation that made him jot about the prior call of nature that was sufferings. According to Dickens food and human are correlated to eachother. Food/Hunger stands as an identity that makes us work severely so that the minimum bread of ours can be earned.It led us to the hard and harder aspects of life where while going through we come across the utter darkness that is the universal truth and reality of mankind. indeed again the just word hunger teaches us to explore new ideas & makes us discover things w hich are buried in the oldest urn lying beneath the populace. The preconceived dogmas of life calls hunger as an object that just gave pain & screwed the deeper realism of the worlds sob and wail. It was Dickens who enhanced and enliven us to commend on a word hunger that is perhaps the most alarming agenda of life.I think it was he who only touch us the point of utter grief that actually provided us with relief and became universal. Dickens projected the term hunger as the reality of humans and mental civilisation that generally produced an energy /stimulus to work for the betterment of oneself that equally helped the others. According to me hunger produced a juice that provided us with strengths and topped ourself. Yes it gave pain tho it also made us complete. One got an opportunity to move on and face things as it is. The portion where we came across the lines My thoughts strayed from that question as I looked disconsolately at the fire rose before me in the avenging coal s. Also taught us the truth and the pain that directly came out from the expression of a little boy who has just came to this world not too early. He added the word food into a column that showed us that for him food is a material that is too hard to earn. As he is just a little one and have not come across the harsh reality of life ,dont you think that he has unknowingly fallen into the so called cradle of ill desires.Was he not being drived into the bitter beliefs? His age was too little to be termed as a sufferer. Last but not the least I would like to conclude that very beautifully Dickens compared the two terms beget & Hunger together. As one(hunger) stands for an epistemology of knowledge ,desire,lust and longing and the other( suffer) stood for the ultimate thet can never be avoided nor ignored but has to be faced,as we the mere human beings are a framed puppet in the hands of them,The Almighty. Thank you.
