" (Snow 1959).

The Luddite theory also espoused that two cultures would eventually clash and portrayed the men of power during the Industrial Revolution as only interested in profits, and maintaining their respective lifestyles, at the expense of all those who would struggle against them, including family members. So it is with Walpole's king who, as he attempts to justify his play to remain in power.

He states, "would he quit the flourishing state of Vicenza for the inconsiderable principality of Otranto? If he would not, could I bear the thought of seeing a hard unfeeling vicerory set over my faithful people? - for sirs, I love my people, and, thank Heaven, are beloved by them." (Walpole pg 29).

One can only imagine the same words emitting forth from any of the monied owners who worked hard to remain in positions of power and money during the Industrial Revolution in their attempts to justify the misuse of the common workers during that era.

Using the words of such writer's as Walpole in comparison to the culture found during the Industrial Revolution leads to some interesting comparisons, similarities and ideas that allow for distinct patterns of cultures during to distinctly different time frames (ie the Industrial Revolution vs. The Gothic era).
It also can be further expanded upon to compare modern days with both era and finding similarities in all three. This leads to the question; 'does anything change'?

Is today's modern man in the same situation as the workers of the Industrial Revolution or the characters found in a Gothic novel. If this assertion is true, then is the struggle going to change anything, or does man struggle in order to facilitate growth, while winning is not the goal, but the struggle itself is of utmost importance.

Snow and Walpole may have had a lot more in common than just being writers. They also could have been soul mates!
