Victorian Era Themes

   Introduction     

           After watching the videos I now realize that there were many different themes in the Victorian Era. At first they had a rocky start, but after awhile it was smooth sailing. During this time the Victorians made many big changes, like moving from the country to the city. They also made many different improvements.

Themes

1) One theme was the hardship, for example, the working conditions for the poor in the workhouses was horrible. Families where separated many times and put into different rooms. In fact once a 5 month old baby was kept from its mother and would occasionally see its mother for feeding.

2)Another theme was the improvements. There was a time when the cities river smelled horrible because the sewage that was poured into it. The Victorians took this problem head on and the solution was the use of marvelous sewage systems. During these time many machines were invented to make manufacturing items more efficient and faster.

3)The final them is trickery because their were a lot of people tricking people. Most time artist would make there paintings look more cheered up from the original. Just so they could sell their paintings to the rich to make money. There were many people that would trick people out of money.
