Abstract: | Trollope's The Warden ironically unearths the sway of liberalism in Victorian England and its negative effect in the city of Barchester. The irony is present in the objective of Bold an opposite result. People like John Bold and the beds men of Hiram's Hospital had thought of increment in their income, but it becomes vain. The chimera of liberalism suffered all: Septimus Harding, John Bold and the beds men until they cease to follow it. In this light, it won't be overstated that the concept of liberalism is not always good and beneficial - it is ironical too. The whole foundation of the novel is the same drama of liberalism and its an ironic because of the futile hope of the characters: John Bold and the beds men. Fallacious nature has been enacted in this novel to portray the real, bitter and somehow negative effect of liberalism. |
