Opinion
The writer wants us to think of the situation he lived in. He disapproves of the aristocracy. One time he refers to the East-end workers, who live their lives under the ground.
It was nice because it had a different view on the future. Generally speaking the technology and science have increased and the world is a better place, but in this story it is different.
