hard times

In Hard Times, Thomas Gradgrind raises his kids Tom and Louisa to learn facts and only facts. Consequently, Louisa marries a man she doesn't love, and Tom robs the bank he works at. The entire family ends up unhappy and unfeeling.

Early in the novel, Gradgrind considers expelling a girl named Sissy Jupe for being a bad influence on his children. Realizing that Sissy's father has abandoned her, he lets her stay.

When Louisa comes of age, she married her father's friend Bounderby. Her brother urges her to do this so that he'll have protection at the bank where he works.

Tom robs the bank he works at, and Louisa nearly runs off with a man named Harthouse, with whom she has an affair. In the end, neither gets what they want, and the Gradgrind family winds up miserable and unloved
