Hi! :)

Many people said and thought that this period was "prudish and stuffy", it might not be totally accursed because the british considered it a period of peace and prosperity. The middle class did increase in power and number and they aspired to become part of the nobility!

Hi :)

Many Americans view the Victorian era as traditional and prudish, due to the way women are portrayed in the novels and the common themes of marriage and social classes. Nevertheless, in texts such as, Pride and Prejuice, it can be seen the way that authors introduces and presents women is not a traditional one. The women are shown to be active characters, self-enough, and capable of thinking for themselves, despite of society's idea that women are merely objects for betrothal and that they don't know anything.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
