Improving Literature

I'm thinking of writing some high quality literature so as to improve our public's stagnating minds. One plot that suggests itself:
A lowly factory girl overcomes obstacles to patent her own labour-saving device & marry the local lord after his decadent, foreign wife dies in a mining accident.

Sample paragraph
Dolly looked at the crouched figures trudging miserably towards the colliery; their blackened, simian features seeing only the muddy ground beneath their heavy feet. The godly sphere of the sun was not to be met by their defeated eyes.
Her rosy cheeks positively burned with indignation. "If I can only perfect my as yet vaguely imagined labour saving device so as to prevent the factory owners having to pay these ignorant fucking monkeys... my future may indeed be a fortunate one."

A later episode
The knife plunged one last time into Lord Snigsby's corpulent body. He stared into Dolly's mocking eyes. Only now did he realise how mad she truly was.
