"Our Mutual Friend" by Charles Dickens is a novel published in 1865 that explores themes of wealth, social class, and the interconnectedness of individuals in society. In Part 2, titled "Birds of a Feather," the story continues to follow the lives of various characters, including young Charley Hexam, who reflects on his education at a dismal school. The school is depicted as a chaotic and oppressive environment, filled with students who are either asleep or in a stupor, while teachers, despite their good intentions, struggle to impart knowledge effectively. The narrative critiques the absurdity of pretending that all students, regardless of their backgrounds or experiences, are innocent and naive. This sets the stage for deeper explorations of character relationships and societal issues throughout the novel.

Its atmosphere was op-pressive and disagreeable it was crowded, noisy, and confus-ing half the pupils dropped asleep, or fell into a state of wak-ing stupefaction the other half kept them in either condition by maintaining a monotonous droning noise, as if they were performing, out of time and tune, on a ruder sort of bagpipe. The teachers, animated solely by good intentions, had no idea of execution, and a lamentable jumble was the upshot of their kind endeavours.
