In this section, Mrs. Sparsit conspires to reclaim her place in the Bounderby household and drag Louisa down into the depths of depravity while the latter falls in love with Mr. Hearthouse (ha ha he has "heart" is his name, total co-winkydink right?) and begs her father to save her from making an abominable moral faux-pas.
In summary, this section is about how the characters expose new found dark and emotional thoughts, that challenge personal ideals and society, such as Louisa interacting with James, Mrs. Sparsit having dark thoughts about Louisa and Mr. Gradgrind starting to show emotion towards his daughter.
Within these chapters, Mrs. Sparsit attempts to regain her position in Bounderby's life by noticing the affections between Mr. Harthouse and Louisa, whom she longs to see fall into the deepest depths of sin, but unfortunately for her, Louisa goes to her now disillusioned father to plead for help before any such scandal can fully occur.
Dickens writes a fabulous section of literature in which he exposes the characters' true personalities: Mrs. Sparsit is a little evil and jealous when wishing for Louisa's downfall, Harthouse cares only about his own love life with Louisa, Tom is a wreck who gambles a lot and stole from a bank, Mr. Gradgrind is a more sentimental person when he saw Louisa, Louisa has emotion as she vents to her father, and Mrs. Gradgrind is dead.
This chapter is mainly about the emotional problems each character has, like how Louisa, who is being spied on by Sparsit, is now possibly in love with Hearthouse and does not know what to do and when her father finds out, he does not know how to help his daughter and hates himself for causing her unhappiness and Tom hates himself for being a bad brother to Louisa by asking her for money and making her marry Bounderby, who Louisa does not love.

This section of the novel mainly deals with the growing love attraction between Louisa Gradgrind and Mr. Hearthouse, yet this part of the book also encompasses the reassertion of Mrs. Sparsit's dominance in the Bounderby household, the robbery at Mr. Bounderby’s bank, the death of Mrs. Gradgrind, and, finally, Louisa asking her father to approve of her wishes to divorce Mr. Bounderby so she can be with her true love, Mr. Hearthouse.
Paige Hanson These chapters summarize how majority of the main characters are affected by their actions earlier in the novel along with the development of relationships.
Characters, including Tom, Mr. Gradgrind, and Louisa, who have hidden their feelings so long, in order to secure their emotions and only present the facts, are finally beginning to decompose, especially when Louisa, trying to understand her feelings with Mr. Harthouse, is used as a puppet by Mrs. Sparsit to destroy her greatest adversary, Mr. Bounderby.
In this fantastic section, the bank is robbed, Mr Harthouse seems to be getting quite close with Louisa, Mrs. Sparsit is attempting to become Mr. Bounderby's "buddy" once again while watching Louisa descend the "staircase", and Mr. Gradgrind shows the first signs of having any emotion at all.
Mrs. Sparsit tries to worm her way between Mr. Bounderby and Louissa while Mr. Harthouse professes his love to Louissa; Louissa finally tells Mr. Gradgrind that she is dissatisfied with the way she was raised and thinks she is in love with Mr. Harthouse.
In this section of the reading, Dickens exposes the underlying sentiments of his characters by allowing them to show their true emotions, such as when Louisa and her father have a touching moment or how she displays feelings of affection towards Harthouse; however, readers also get to see the spiteful side of Sparsit who pledges to do anything in order to take back her spot in the house of Bounderby.
Many varied character interactions occur within the section in question, ranging from Mrs. Sparsit's subtle maneuvering back into the Bounderby household and her observation of the beginnings of a potentially scandalous extra-marital affair, Tom's villainy and manipulation of his own sister, and Louisa's internal turmoil over her supremely complex and emotional situation concerning Harthouse, all of which combine majestically to form an elegantly crafted and intriguing fragment of Hard Times.
In this section, we see that Louisa has become very close to Mr. Harthouse, to the point of confessing her true feelings to Mr. Grandgrind, after Mr. Harthouse professes his love for her while Mrs. Sparsit tries to get in between the married life of Louisa and Mr. Bounderby; all these characters have hid the truth for so long and are finally showing their true emotions.
This section of Hard Times is significant due to each character’s considerable emotional growth, which is especially shown in Louisa as she tries to overcome the Gradgrind education that has been instilled in her; the first chapter, entitled “Gunpowder” signifies the spark of this growth, as Harthouse begins to pursue her, while the last chapter, “Down” represents the downfall of her past education.

In this section, the Bounderbys are at the center of Mrs. Sparsit's attention as she attempts to take back her post from Louisa as being Mr. Bounderby's right hand woman while Mr. Harthouse tries to court her; the pushing of Louisa by Mrs. Sparsit and the pulling of her by Mr. Harthouse allows for many dark traits of the characters to be revealed.
This section of Hard Times reveals untold emotions of many characters, contradiction what has previously been exposed about the personalities; Louisa develops intimacy with Mr. Hearthouse, Mr. Gradgrind begins to show emotion towards his daughter, and Mrs. Sparsit, while attempting to regain position in the Bounderby household, expresses envious and evil emotions (yes, tounge twister)towards Louisa.
These chapters describe Mrs. Sparsit's increasing want to be a part of Bounderby's life and for Louisa's downfall as she notices Louisa's growing relationship with Harthouse; Tom is shown to be a broken soul who robs a bank and feels guilty about it while Mr. Gradgrind becomes more human when Louisa pleads that he allow will allow her to end her marriage with Bounderby.
In this section Dickens employs the technique of characterization by exploring the new relationship between Louisa and Mr.Harthouse and the loss of pride from Mr.Gradgrind when he learns of his daughetr's feeelings toward Mr. Bounderby, as well as Mrs.Sparsit's more active role in pursuing Louisa's actions.
This section reveals that the actions taken by the characters in previous sections have finally caught up to them; Mrs. Sparsit acts upon her desire to re enter Bounderby's life and bring Louisa down off of the "giant staircase" by exposing Louisa's budding affair with Harthouse, while Louisa expresses her regret for marrying Bounderby which causes Gradgrind to understand that he has deprived his children emotionally.
In this section of reading, Mrs. Sparsit tries to come between Louisa and Bounderby and regain her place in the Bounderby house while Mr. Harthouse expresses his love for Louisa; Louisa also goes to her father, Mr. Gradgrind, and tells him that she resents the way he raised her on facts and that she is in love with Mr. Harthouse.
In this section of “Hard Times”, numerous emotions are beginning to break through despite the fact that Mr. Gradgrind’s “fact only” way of life is the foundation of Coketown’s every day affairs, therefore proving that perhaps facts are no longer the building blocks of this society.
In this section, the characters make their true feelings clear: James Harthouse expresses his love for Louisa and demonstrates kindness towards Tom by offering his support, Mrs. Sparsit shows her selfish side by impatiently waiting for Louisa’s downfall (she’s jealous of Louisa’s marriage with Mr. Bounderby), Louisa finally pronounces to her father how unhappy she has been over the course of her life, and Mr. Gradgrind is reproachful of the way he brought Louisa up and feels sorry for her present romance situation.
