Question regarding Charles Dickens’ Hard Times…?

Question

I'm writing a response to an essay question which asks me to “illustrate how Charles Dickens’ Hard Times engages in political discussion.” Would I answer this by talking about the different characters, mainly Gradgrind, and their political views? If not, then how should I answer this question and what should I include? Thanks
