- London
- Metaphor "And mark in every face I meet marks of weakness, marks of woe"
- The people are marked by the government/ Prime Minister and also by which class they're in
- The people are physically and mentally influenced by the poverty created by the government. They are depressed and unlikely now to challenge the governments/ laws/ expectations
- It increases the suffering already experienced due to poor sanitation and overcrowding
- Juxtaposition "How the chimney- sweepers cry every black'ning church appalls
- Children were 'expected' to sweep from a young age- increases suffering/ chances of lung cancer/ burning/ death
- Even poorer children gained no sympathy
- Emphasises injustice
- People began to loses faith in churches/ god because of the terrible conditions/ could be damage from conflict/ threat of war increase tensions
- Alliteration and Metaphor "The mind forged manacles"
- The poverty/ governmental rules/ expectations hold them back
- They lose the ability to think/ have hope/ rebel/ express opinions and become nothing more than 'machines'- just functioning rather than living
- The depressive circumstances gradually infiltrate into their brains
- Emphasises the class divide/ suffering of the poor
- Oxymoron "And blights with plagues the marriage hearse"
- The governments control/ dominance is like a plague over the poor
- Marriage/ funerals- juxtaposed- 2 significant events in the lives of the poor- no joy inbetween
- Children were not expected to survive and life expectancy was short
- Metaphor "And mark in every face I meet marks of weakness, marks of woe"
