Literary Distilation

In this deprecation of human society, the narrator is attempting to convince the reader that humans make bad decisions, undervalue the little things in life, and aren’t thankful enough for existing in the first place. The author does so by stating things like, “Gentlefolks in general have a very awkward rock ahead in life” and “You dabble in nasty mud, and made pies, when you were a child; and you dabble in nasty science, and dissect spiders, and spoil flowers, when you grow up”, these quotes are used to convey the obstacles and cruel nature of life. This is entitled for the more intellectual peoples who can understand some of its sophisticated vocabulary.
