Priestley believed in socialism and he used large sections of his plays attempting to convince people of his way of thinking. It was written in a time when Britain was ruled by a Labour government and socialist policies were seen to be a good way to go. It was a common way of thinking at that time so Priestley's aim for the play may have been to influence the politically unsure in society.…

    Victorian Britain was in almost all ways a period of oppression and exploration of women. Women in Britain during the Victorian age were seen largely as second class citizens in a so called “man’s worlds.” Women lacked the right to vote and the own property and inherit money once they were married, and where seen as the property of their husband to do almost anything that they so pleased. Though there are many reasons for why we can see that Victorian Britain was a time of exploration for women, in this essay the main points that will be focused on will be, women in the workplace, the role of women in marriage and the view that society had on women and their role within society. After looking at these points one will clearly see that Victorian Britain was a period of oppression and exploration of women.…

First, when Ender joined Bonzo’s army he didn’t let him practice or pariticipate in any of the battles. He gave Ender strict orders to not get in the way or interfere with their work. In general Bonzo thought of Ender as a obstacle rather than a teammate. “I intentd to trade you away as quickly as…
