Beause he was gay and she felt bad:)
Dickens uses the labeling of Sissy as "girl number twenty" to criticize Mr. Gradgrind's emphasis on facts and numbers over individuality and humanity. By reducing Sissy to a number, Mr. Gradgrind dehumanizes her and overlooks her unique qualities and emotions, reflecting the dehumanizing effects of a purely utilitarian education system.
Mr. Gradgrind refers to Sissy as "girl number twenty" to emphasize his belief in treating individuals as numbers or statistics rather than recognizing them as unique individuals. Dickens criticizes the industrial, utilitarian mindset that values facts and figures over empathy and understanding, highlighting the dehumanizing effects of this viewpoint on both children and society as a whole.
In "Hard Times," Charles Dickens includes the character of Sissy Jupe to provide a contrast to the utilitarian views espoused by characters like Mr. Gradgrind. Through Sissy's warmth, empathy, and emotional intelligence, Dickens highlights the importance of love, compassion, and imagination in a rigid, industrialized society. Sissy embodies qualities that are undervalued in the utilitarian world, ultimately serving as a critique of the dehumanizing effects of pure rationalism and utilitarianism.
