Question

PLease help!!!!

What is the Victorian theme in the poem “Beautiful City” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson?

Beautiful city, the centre and crater of European confusion,
O you with your passionate shriek for the rights of an equal
humanity,
How often your Re-volution has proven but E-volution
Roll’d again back on itself in the tides of a civic insanity!


A. civil unrest
B. revolution
C. confusion
D. social justice

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A, civil unrest. Civil Unrest is also known as Civil Disorder (if I'm right) which typically used by any law enforcement that's caused by a group of people. If you read the poem carefully, you get the sense of idea of a protest happening, and like any protest it always involved the police officer.
