"Mary Barton" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is a poignant tale set in 19th-century Manchester, exploring the struggles of the working class during the Industrial Revolution. The story follows Mary Barton, a factory worker's daughter, who is torn between her love for two men: the passionate and idealistic Jem Wilson and the wealthy Henry Carson. As tensions rise between workers and factory owners, Gaskell delves into themes of poverty, social injustice, and love amidst hardship. The narrative illustrates the challenges faced by the laboring class and the moral dilemmas that emerge during this turbulent period in British history.
