Dickens also analyzes what CokeTown looks like because it is an industrial city. The city has now become a race for factories to produce as many products as possible. In the beginning of Book Two: "Reaping", on a "sunny midsummer day… CokeTown lay shrouded in a haze of its own, which appeared impervious to the sun’s rays." Dickens puts this in the book to remind us how an industrial society can ruin nature. This is not how to adapt to nature as Social Darwinism or natural selection explains. This is conquering it and making nature adapt to you. The earth has been around now, 4.6 billion years. I do not believe that in a million years of human existence that we are able to conquer it.
