This poignant narrative uncovers the stark class divisions and the struggles of the working poor, presenting a biting critique of societal hypocrisy and institutional indifference. The novel illustrates the protagonist's descent from a sheltered existence into a world of poverty, hop-picking, and teaching, forcing her to confront the true nature of human resilience and despair. Orwell's sharp prose details the dehumanizing effects of destitution with a powerful, unsentimental gaze, making it a compelling work of social commentary.
