Not overtly harsh on either of its main characters, but it does bring out their actions and the results thereof.

Carnegie claimed that he was for the workingman, and wrote a lot of sympathetic things before and after the Homestead violence. I think he wanted to believe those things, but failed to see that others would act as violently as they did, and was horrified that it happened. He did a lot to try to salve his conscience afterward, of course.
