Introduction
The Victorian Era started in 1837, when Queen Victoria became queen, and ended in 1901, when Queen Victoria died.
Imagine yourself being divided into social class systems and not being able to speak to anyone who is not in your social class. In today's world there are still social class systems, but unlike the Victorian Era where each social classes couldn't interact with each other and they had certain rules to follow.
During the Victorian Era the class systems were determined by the connections of family, how they acted, how they spoke, their education, and their values. Each social class system would live different lifestyles with their own rules. For example, people from one class system couldn't act how the other social classes acted.
