Religious and Moral values in the Victorian Era. Family Life
Family in the Victorian Era was very important. The average family was five to six children. Most upper and middle families lived in big comfortable houses. Each member in the family had their place. Children were taught to obey their parents. The father was the head of the household; he was often strict. He was the provider and the leader of the family, who gained a lot of respect. The mother didn't have to do much. Her job was to plan for dinner parties, call her friends and visit her dress maker. Most middle class children didn't see their parents often. They were taken care of by their nanny. If they did something wrong they would be punished. Upper and middle class family were able to have servants and housemaids who cooked, answered the door, shopped for food, and cleaned. Poor working class families feared going to the workhouse, which was where homeless penniless families were forced to live. A lot of children in poor class families died for diseases which spread by unclean drinking water and overcrowded rooms.
Christianity was the most common Religion in the Victorian Era. However, there were beginning to be growing differences and conflicts in the separate denominations. The most common denomination in England at the time was Episcopalian, also known as the Church of England or the Anglican Church. This was very similar to Catholicism except they did not believe in the Pope. Also around this time, some Protestants became more radical such as Evangelicalism which translates to "of or pertaining to the Gospel". They took every word of the Bible literally whereas the Broad Church party, which never officially formed, believed that the Bible should be taken more figuratively. Catholicism at the time was frowned upon although it had once made up a huge population of Europe. Catholics were not allowed to serve in Parliament and overall it caused a lot of tension.
Prosperity was one of the biggest aspects of the Victorian Age. England went through several decades of wealth and power and it granted them with a new optimism, ushering in the Industrial Revolution. The upper and middle class flourished in this time. However, for the lower class, England's prosperity was not necessarily a good thing. The average lower class man worked 14-16 hours a day and lived in horrible conditions. Women and children were also forced to work dangerous, harmful occupations. While this prospering made for huge success for the upper and middle class, 27% of England lived in poverty.
