There is a lot to look at while reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens. I have noticed multiple different things such as the use of opium and filth of the city. One thing that continually is prominant to me are the different roles of women throught the novel. Yu see the religious missionaries, verses the more uptight strong women. You also see the weak woen as well. My focus will be on the different social and marital constructs of the women throughout the novel and the men as that is important as well.
The Great Fire fo 1666 seems to be a great test of Londoners. It is a fire that is forever engrained in the minds of those who live in the great city as the fire took out thousands of homes. I can only imagine how sad people must have felt during this time. A great city in which 436 acres of land were destroyed so quickly(Ross and Clark 112). This quick destruction of peoples homes and land must have turned a seemingly beautiful space into a desolute and despairing area.
