'God has made us so that we must
be mutually dependent' - Margaret to
Thornton. Masters and men depend
on each other
"Margaret the Churchwoman, her
father the Dissenter, Higgins the
Infidel, knelt down together. It did
them no harm."(unholy Trinity)
The 'north' and the
'south' are united
through the marriage
of Margaret and
Thornton
She is the one to save
him- reversal of roles
"Oh Mr.
Thornton I am
not good
enough... mock
me of my own
unworthiness"-
showing mutual
respect,
refusing to
impose a
political
hierarchy
CONFLICT
Peace is brought about when people put
aside their differences for the sake of
unity
Disraeli: 'Two nations; between
whom there is no intercourse and
no sympathy" - gap between rich
and poor.
“your Union in itself would be beautiful,
glorious, —it would be Christianity in
itself—if it were but for an end which
affected the good of all, instead of that of
merely one class as opposed to another” - Mr. Hale
UNITARIANISM
Praising individualism,
rejecting the Trinity
Religion should
make a difference in
the world: social
justice
Unity of Masters and Men:
Thornton arranging a
worker's cantine
'To Clem to death'- workers used food
against the masters, a necessity for
them
"We have all of us one human heart"
UNITY OF WORKERS
"The only working men can
get their rights, by all joining
together". "More the
members, more chance"
