Question

Many Americans view the Victorian era as primarily conventional and even prudish, or stuffy. Considering the works you read for this unit, do you think that opinion is accurate or inaccurate? Which texts would you reference to support your opinion? Think about the qualities your chosen texts have that support or refute the image of the Victorian era as prudish or stuffy.

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that it is inaccurate because the 20th century is more modern and people think that the types of era we had has nothing to do with what our era looks like now. That's not true. People say text and stories such as Romeo and Juliet and Titanic is so clique. They really aren't, they are what makes up our relationships, they are what depicts us on our deep understanding of love. So no, I don't think that the Victorian era is very much not primarily conventional, prudish or stuffy, because the fact is that without the Victorian era we wouldn't be where we are now, and we probably wouldn't have the type of understanding of love we have now.
