Hello Everyone,
Here is something about Modern Literature where existence of Technology entered & effect of that new change has experienced with the context of a Short Story written by John Galsworthy "Quality".
No one like to be ready for work from tired, bored sleep of last night & wake up in the morning. Only thought of get ready for work may makes people in a bad mood.rarely one can find someone who is differ from this & especially if I talk about this with addition to keeping in mind the modern time where everything is set up through machines & technology. No hard or real work people have to do in their fields like before.
Here is a short story on such figure who is a representation of that past where work demands hardship & real practice from workers. No particular machinery was used to make any items or things of routine use & present story's main character named Mr. Gessler had same habit to be dedicated towards the work.As a Shoe Maker he made what was ordered, never taking ready made shoes down from the shelf. He wanted each pair of boots to be a custom fit to each individual & for every pair he made,he used a pattern taken from the customer's foot size.
Dedication for work only resulted in a right manner when it done by some hardships,self interest & enough practice instead of only be supportive on new machinery that in an actual sense decrease the value of things as well as art. As Modern Literature also pointed out the same features.
In addition to that, when Mr.Galsworthy came to Mr. Gessler for ordered his shoes, as a integral shoe maker he noticed that Mr.Galsworthy had shoes that made by advertisement not by work that means it was ready made no hand work done on it.with the development of story we comes to know that how Mr.Gessler is forced to sacrifice half of his shop to a big business just because of his weak physical condition as Dr.Quoted that "The man died due to slow stravation."& his entire life's sacrifice for his work lead him towards a terrible stage of his life at the end.when machinery gets sound & voice of real art pressured under authority at some point such figures comes out with serious concern but hopeless recovery.Mass production take place of individual real handy arts & forced us to think on it as a participator of New Modern Era.
Thank You.
