Life In The Iron Mills
In Life in the Iron Mills the narrator’s purpose is to inform the readers of the cruel realities of the lower class in hopes of change in the social structure. Davis captivates the attention of the reader’s by vividly describing Industrial America from the nightmare fog that covers the town to the hellish life of an industrial worker. Additionally, she creates sympathy by sharing the story of Hugh Wolfe; an iron mill worker with the desire for more, but with no opportunities is left with no hope.
The mills are visited by a group of men; Kirby, Doctor May and Mitchell; hot and tired they pay little attention to the workers and compare the mills to Dante’s Inferno. Kirby, the son of the mill owner has no interest in the well-being of his workers.
