The signal man could be considered a very strange story, but it is true that can catches the attention of every reader. In this story, Charles Dickens involves important elements which can be related to the reality of society in those times. For example, the train by itself represents something strong that cannot be stopped easily. The same happens with the economical system today, which looks just for useful people or machines in order to produce more in a cheaper way.
Progress during this time was the most important word and even today people are always talking about this. We have to know that every change has a price to be paid, and from my point of view, the improvement of technology in a society, systematize people bringing another concept, isolation. As we read in The Signal Man, the protagonist was in a box. I think that today we are all in the same box just observing from outside all the economical progress and all the problems that these advances bring.
Nowadays, we can see that nobody cares about otherness because people are so busy and worried about the debts they have.
