Charles Dickens enjoyed writing, reading, amateur acting, and participating in theater productions.

In "Hard Times," Charles Dickens portrays unions as being led by self-serving and unethical individuals, such as Slackbridge, who use their power to manipulate and exploit the workers for their own gain. Dickens criticizes the way unions can foster division and conflict among workers, rather than promoting solidarity and collective action for positive change. Ultimately, he suggests that unions, when corrupted or mismanaged, can contribute to the overall suffering and oppression of the working class.

Charles Dickens achieved his goals through hard work, perseverance, and a deep understanding of human nature that he reflected in his writing. He actively engaged with social issues of his time, such as poverty and class inequality, through his novels, which helped him connect with a wide audience and leave a lasting impact on society. Additionally, his innovative storytelling techniques and vivid characterizations contributed to his success as a writer.

When Dickens was 15, he became a law clerk at the law firm of Ellis and Blackmore, then, in 1828, worked for a few months at the law firm of Charles Molley. He didn't much like law as a profession, so after mastering Gurney shorthand, a very difficult form required by the courts, he became a freelance court stenographer. (Aided, no doubt by his near-photographic memory, he was able to master the Gurney shorthand in three months, a skill that took most people three years.) He was 18 when he fell in love with Maria Beadnell and, about that time, began writing short stories and "sketches," while still working as a freelance court stenographer. During that time, Maria Beadnell broke his heart and in his early twenties, he met his future wife, Catherine Hogarth.
