In the book ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, Lord Henry said, “We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind, and poisons us. The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. . . . Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.” By saying this Lord Henry meant that when people do not conduct what they are tempted to do, they get sick and keep wanting to do it. This quote also meant that when there are rules, people were always tempted to break those rules. During the time when Queen Victoria ruled, the society required strict morality and therefore had strict ethics. However, most people were not serious and hypocritical towards their ethics. Therefore, people in the Victorian period were soon tempted to break those strict ethics and broke them in many

The Victorian age is marked by the sudden and startling changes it brought on the western world. As industrialization, intense colonization, and expanding practices of sciences abounded, the traditional ideas and ideals that had once seemed constant and true, were suddenly precarious. Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” has become quintessential to the Victorian literary canon as it is exactly this struggle with a loss of constancy and the confrontation with the unknown and uncertainty that Arnold evokes within its lines. “Dover Beach” explores the potential effects of these sudden shifts in culture; particularly the shift towards scientific exploration and the threat this shift had on notions of Christianity and faith. The poem acts as a grand sweeping metaphor for the ideas of constancy and doubt as it lures the reader into a sense of permanence and complacency before undermining that sense by contradicting itself and implementing mistrust; ultimately it leaves the reader with a sense that since faith is not eternal, nothing is. This metaphor is enhanced and nuanced through Arnold’s interesting use of structure and sudden shifts in tone.
