Nobles View of the New Era

The new era proved well for us. With a larger gap between us and the peasants life is more favorable. We were able to segregate our agricultural fields from the peasants, and profit well from our own farms. We became wealthier than before, and were able to lead more luxurious lives. Our lifestyle had truly improved. We were able to have larger meals brought to us by servants, indulged in lavish dinner parties, afford high end fashion, and most importantly, our children were able to receive a good education. Life truly was better on the other side of the tracks.

Clergy view of England during New Era

The clergy view England in a dismayed fashion. The rise of liberalism is against the many Christian ways that have ruled this country for so long. The conservatism backlash has not yet arrived in the UK, but is a way in which to return to the old ways of ruling and old power of the church. The church supports longevity and stability, while liberalism is a selfish style that will soon fold and leave the country in ruin. The romantic movement, however, has gained support for the Christian church through religious paintings and the spread of religion and belief in god. The clergy overall is upset with the position of religion in society.

Peasant's View of England During New Era

Throughout this era there have been many changes that have occurred. As a result, times have become more difficult for us, peasants. The gap between the rich and the poor have widened making it extremely difficult for us to survive. Most peasants who are able to find a job have a very small selection to choose from. Most peasants are shopkeepers, small businessmen, and white collar workers. While the upper class was improving their lifestyle by making larger meals, dinner parties, having servants, fashion, and receiving a good education. This widened the gap between the rich and the poor extremely, and as a result, made it extremely difficult for the peasants to survive.

Monarch's view of England during new era

Although I am a constitutional monarch as the head of the United Kingdom, I am greatly worried about the rapid increase of liberalism in my kingdom. Although the people have not shown a desire to go to the great extremes of Karl Marx and his communist co-founders, they have engaged in a form of reforming liberalism that I greatly hope to see an end to. For example, they have begun with the simple repeal of the Corn Laws, although I must admit that they did favor the upper classes. They have proceeded to demand labor rights, and I cannot see a forseeable end to the unrestrained democracy. They call for the equality and suffrage of the lower class, which I simply do not have the time to deal with. Politics should be reserved for the higher classes, though I feel powerless to stop the lower class wretches. Romanticism seems to be the key behind it all, inspiring a sense of daring and risk as well as drama that has simply taken Europe by storm.
Additionally, the situation of the urban dwellers continues to get worse and worse, and soon I feel that they will no longer contain their emotions. The poorest live in deplorable conditions with little to no food, and though I could care less, there are too many of them to be disregarded altogether. The liberalist ideas are especially appealing to these fools, who believe that all sorts of reforms will help improve their lousy lives. I cannot explain the anxiety that this sweeping thought and action is causing in my conservative world.
