Mrs.Sparsit shows her desire to see Louisa's downfall, though stopped by a confrontation with Louisa's father, while trying to regain a stance in Bounderby's life.
In this section, Louisa begins to turn from fact to emotions as she distances herself from Tom and Mr. Bounderby and becomes emotionally attached to Mr. Harthouse, while Mrs. Sparsit watches on and hopes for the destruction of Louisa and Bounderby's relationship.
In this section, Dickens shows the constant struggle of the characters to suppress their “evils” and act prim and proper in accordance with society's rules, from Louisa and James' relationship, Mr. Gradgrind's true emotion towards his daughter, Tom's gambling problems, Mrs. Sparsit's evil hopes for Louisa and Mr. Bounderby's relationship,all the way to Mr. Bounderby's willingness and (from what I sense) a desire to let Mrs. Sparsit back in his life.
Through his writing, Dickens is able to depict the true nature of all of the major characters ranging from Mrs. Sparsits over-obsession with Louisa's downfall to Harthouses attempts at undermining Louisa's realtionship with Tom and Bounderby.
In this reading we watch as Tom's character develops, when his gambling problem is revealed, and we also see Mr. Bounderby’s and Lousia’s relationship deteriorate leaving room for Heartsworth and Ms Sparsit to come in.
All that has been built up and suppressed towards this moment has finally exploded, and they are left to deal with the aftermath, to forget Fact and face reality: that emotions exist no matter how inconvenient life may be, and one cannot use and treat people however they like as if they were tools -cough- or machines.
The change in Lousia's character becomes apparent in this section as she denounces the ideas of her brother and father and embraces her emotions towards Mr. Harthouse all while Mrs. Sparsit yearns to witness the demise of Lousia's relationship with Bounderby.
The beginning of the reader the theme of exploitation is continued as Harthouse tries to win over Louisa's heart through his personal connections and Bounderby blames Blackpool with the robbery but their is hope for a better change as Louisa's love for Harthouse has been able to make her father want to help her even though he does not know how to truly love others.
The main focus of this section is the developing tension between Louisa and Mrs.Sparsit, as Mrs.Sparsit is jealous of Louisa's relationship with Mr.Bounderby.
All that is held to be true by Mr. Gradgrind is disproved in a single moment as Louisa tells her father the feelings she has for Mr. Harthouse, feelings deemed improper by Mr. Gradgrind.
in this section Louisa realizes that she may have married someone whom she does not love, and may possibly love harthouse, and does not know what she really feels, and sissy convinces harthouse to leave the town.
The desire for representing higher class, or properness through relying on facts and following determined paths dominates the story, however a shift is seen where the revealing of the characters true motives and desires, Mrs. Sparsit and Louisa for example, displays the necessity for emotions and the vast downfall that can result from hiding any expression of feeling--straying away from fact and relying on creativity of captivation of imagination to express feelings.
In this section we get more insight of Toms character and as Louisa and Mr. Gradgrinds relationsship grows closer we also see that Mrs. Sparsit continuously wishes the worst upon Louisa.
In this section, Louisa is exposed to the harsh reality of... reality, and she is finally able to break through her shell of facts being proper, and begin to see the importance of emotion as she leaves her old life with Mr. Bounderby behind and looks to further her relationship with Harthouse.
The hidden natures of the characters are shown: Louis's hate of her fathers systems, Harthouse's love, Gradgrind's remorse, the full extent of Tom's weakness, and the strange relationship between Bounderby and Mrs. Sparsit. Cara D
