How people interacted with eac
How people interacted with eacThis paper will compare and contrast the ways people
interacted with each other in the sixteenth-century Europe,
nineteenth-century England, and the 1950s in the United
States. The paper will state how people were introduced to
one another, expressed their sexual feelings, and meeting on
casual acquaintances. The next three paragraphs will talk
about what happened during the time periods. This will
maybe tell why people behaved that way during that time
period. Then the comparing and contrasting of how people
interacted will be explored. Finally, I will conclude with
a summary of my findings.
During the Renaissance Italy, unlike England and
France, had no main capital city. Instead it had many
centers for regional states. Some of these cities were
Milan, Rome, Venice, and Florence. Other Renaissance
culture developed around Mantua and Urbino. During the 15th
century students came from all over Europe to study in
Italy. Also during the Renaissance Italian literature,
clothing, furniture, and art were imitated in Holland,
France, Germany, Spain and England (Renaissance 30).
In the nineteenth-century England and Wales were
divided into fifty-two counties. In this century the
English hunted foxes (Pool 24). The middle of London, known
as �The City�, dropped from one hundred twenty-eight
thousand to fifty thousand, while the rest of London grew
from one million to four and a half million. In London the
fancy area was the West End. The East End was full of
poverty and misery (Pool 28).
The 1950s, which followed World War II, were part of
the Truman Years and Eisenhower Years. In 1950, Joseph R.
McCarthy insisted that there were conspiracies in the
Federal Government. During this decade there was a huge
population increase from one hundred fifty million to one
hundred seventy-nine million. The United States court also
rid itself of racial discrimination. Also, in 1954 ruled
that racial discrimination in schools was unconstitutional
(History of the United States 67-68).
While the sixteenth-century was different from the
nineteenth-century there were some similarities. There were
intermarriages between people that were not in the same
class (Hale 444). For example in Our Mutual Friend Eugene,
a gentleman, marries Lizzy, a boatgirl. Romeo, a Capulet,
and Juliet, a Montague rival also marry even though they
were of opposing families (Shakespeare 337). Also sex was
thought about much. In Romeo and Juliet, after the Capulet
party Mercutio teases Romeo about Rosaline in a sexual way
(Shakespeare 319). Jenny Wren thought Eugene Wrayburn just
wanted to make Lizzy Hexem his �doll� (OMF).
Of course as people change there was a change in
behavior in love. Before the 18th century love wasn�t
expected to end well (Hatfield 7). Romeo drank poison and
Juliet stabbed herself (Shakespeare 389-390). Eugene and
Lizzy though were married and lived happily (OMF). Love was
acquired very fast during the Victorian...
