Madame Manec, an old woman who takes care of Marie-Laure and her Uncle, sums it up well, “Some can afford hotels or rentals, but many are in the warehouses, on straw, not enough to eat.

Kate is the only breadwinner that supports the family but she losses her job because of Jack’s reputation. Both Agnes and Rose spend their time kitting to make some money to help her sister. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution a new knitting factory opens in the village, Agnes and Rose are compelled to give up their knitting since there’s no longer a demand on home produced goods. Changes in economy were evident; both sisters died of poverty and starvation in London. Poverty like this story still exists during the 21st century; we just lived behind the great recession of 2007.

Maria and John lived in a poor, low income community where majority of people were uneducated. The people who were uneducated work in factories surviving on low pay for long hours. There was no health insurance to protect workers from injuries happening at the workplace. If a worker get sick or injured they were on their own to cover the medical expenses.

In Loisel’s case, she could have had a happier marriage if she would have just accepted the unconditional love that he showed her.

Instead of relying on her husband to get what she wanted, Loisel could have found
