Summary:
There are stark differences between rich and poor in the Manchester of Elizabeth Gaskells novel, Mary Barton. Factory owners such as Mr Carson, do not understand the anger of their poverty stricken workers, and care little for their welfare. For the mill-workers, employment means food on the table and being one step away from starvation, but trying to gain any political power means risking a loss of livelihood. The author does not depict the owners as intrinsically wicked, but shows through her writing that it is characters like The Bartons who deserve the readers sympathy. By the end of the novel, Mrs Gaskell proves that the rich need not be heartless.
