In British history the Victorian period was Queen Victoria’s reign from June 20th 1837 to January 22 1901, the date of her death.

So, the protagonist of this novel is known as Helen Graham, an artist who flees with her son from her husband and becomes the tenant of Wildfell Hall, where she meets a new man, Gilbert Markham. The author published this novel for the purpose of addressing problems with the martial law and domestic abuse occurring in the 19th century. Because of this, the novel’s protagonist flees with her son. She found herself in a abusive marriage and obviously did not want to continue with this man.

It’s a sad reality that can possibly continue. However, it could change if people actually weren’t so afraid of changing for the better. Seeing that these authors found a way to speak up about it makes me think that we should do something similar. Find a way to speak up about world problems with different methods; art, novels, short stories. Yes, I do know that it has already been done but society keeps ignoring or ruining these works because, as I mentioned before, they are afraid to
