 Hard Times - How does Dickens present the character of Harthouse and what is his role in the novel as a whole?
Harthouse is a very strange character, as it seems as though he is not motivated by love or passion towards Louisa, but merely attempts to seduce her because he is bored.
Because Harthouse sees that Louisa cares a lot for Tom he then goes on to make friends with the "whelp" in order to be seen favorably by Louisa.
The way in which Harthouse manipulates Tom, shows how sly his character is, he pretends to befriend Tom, and in doing this implies that Tom can trust him, when clearly he cannot.

It was even the worse for her at this pass, that in her mind — implanted there before her eminently practical father began to form it — a struggling disposition to believe in a wider and nobler humanity than she had ever heard of, constantly strove with doubts and resentments.
‘You will understand, Mr Harthouse,’ she returned, after some indecision: she had been more or less uncertain, and troubled throughout the conversation, and yet had in the main preserved her self-contained manner; ‘you will understand that if I tell you what you press to know, it is not by way of complaint or regret.

 SparkNotes: Hard Times: Book the Third: Garnering: Chapters 1–4
Baffled and feeling very ridiculous, Harthouse is able to resist neither Sissy’s simple, persuasive honesty nor her beauty; he grudgingly agrees to leave Coketown forever.
Indeed, the narrator relates that Sissy’s good-natured reproach touches Harthouse “in the cavity where his heart should have been.” In suggesting that Harthouse has no heart, the narrator suggests that he has not been motivated by evil intentions but rather by a lack of good intentions—Harthouse is amoral rather than immoral.
Harthouse himself acknowledges that he had “no evil intentions” toward Louisa but merely “glided from one step to another” without realizing the emotional havoc that his seduction might cause.

Harthouse and Tom Bounderby [sic] in the Garden" reverts to the other plot, drawing our attention to Harthouse's attempt to approach Louisa by developing a relationship with her beloved brother.
Like Dickens's, Walker's Harthouse possesses a quasi-military air befitting a former Cornet of Dragoons, and plays with his watch-chain, as he did earlier in his interview with Mrs.
Thus, Walker has synthesized everything that Dickens has said about Harthouse: he is about 35, handsome, and fashionably dressed, with "dark hair, bold eyes," "a certain gallantry at ease," and an ennui resulting from an excess of gentility.

 Various Artists - Harthouse Retrospective - Review
Not only were they the starting label for a lot of amazing artists (Alter Ego, Sven Vath and Hardfloor among the names), but their releases were serious dancefloor pounders, and most of them have aged pretty well.
If you were one of the people that sold off most of your Harthouse releases (like me) around 1996 or so, it gives you a chance to get most of it back in one fell swoop.
It might be a pretty good chunk of change for someone who hasn't heard of the label to drop, but if you're in the market to bone up on some old classics, you might want to drop for this and the Warp 10+2 Classics 2CD release.
