Take notes Dickens’ book explores the human condition. Many authors use literature to describe the human condition and provide their perspectives and beliefs. Essentially, the discussion of the human condition is any thematic concern about human nature, human society or how we live our lives. In other words, it's about the fundamental issues of human existence.  The human condition is "the characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of human existence, such as birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, and mortality. It can be analyzed from many perspectives, including religion, philosophy, history, art, literature, anthropology, psychology, and biology.

How We Live Our Lives -What is the good life? -How do parents act towards their children? -How do we deal with death? -How do we deal with alienation from those around us? -Should we conform or be original? -How do we become adults? What is the process of maturation? -What is the relationship between different generations or genders? -How do we deal with excessive poverty or wealth? Human Nature -Are we naturally evil or good? -Are we born with inherited traits or are we a "blank slate"? -What's more important for human beings? Law and order or freedom? -Are we determined by our genetic structure, environment, etc., or do we have free will ? -Are we naturally social beings or are we individuals first? -Can we know universal truths? -Are we selfish or altruistic? Human Society -What's the best way to live together? -Should we care for the weak and poor, or let them fend for themselves? -What is a natural society: equality or hierarchy? -Is civilization positive or negative? -How should society treat the environment? Do any of these questions relate to the book? Use and/or create 10 questions that relate to the book.
