Question

Victorian restraint and repression lead to a great deal of hypocrisy

Accepted Answer

The brothels and
opium dens of Victorian London thrived. Most of the people in the upper classes, particularly the
men, lived a double life. They took part in all the ‘sinful’ activities that, by day, they would condemn.
We see evidence of this double life in ‘An Inspector Calls’, such as with Eric and Gerald’s
appearances in the bars of Brumley.
