"Mary Barton" by Elizabeth Gaskell is a poignant tale set in 19th-century Manchester, exploring the harsh realities of working-class life during the Industrial Revolution. The story follows Mary Barton, a young woman caught in a love triangle between two men: the passionate and devoted worker, Jem Wilson, and the wealthy manufacturer’s son, Henry Carson. As tensions mount between the laborers and the factory owners, Mary faces personal and societal struggles that culminate in a tragic turn of events. The novel powerfully addresses themes of class conflict, love, and social injustice, revealing the deep human emotions that connect people across divides.
