In "Hard Times" by Charles Dickens, the third gentleman objects to horses on wallpaper and flowers on rugs because he believes that such decorative elements distract from the harsh realities of life and promote a false sense of beauty. He represents a utilitarian perspective that prioritizes practicality and functionality over aesthetic pleasure, viewing these decorative features as frivolous and unnecessary. His objections reflect a broader critique of society's focus on superficial appearances rather than the substantive issues of existence and labor.
It is not recommended that a writer use "Dear Gentlemen's" in a salutation. "Dear gentlemen's" is referring to the gentlemen's object, not the men themselves. Try using "Dear gentlemen" instead.
