Victorian
women

fainted" chapter

Murder Case
- This conforms with the frailty
associated with Victorian women and
promotes it because it seems likely
that this act may have saved the
girl's life
- It is significant that all of the female
characters are unnamed in contrast to all of
the male characters which are not only more
substantial but are also all named. This is
reflective of the Victorian hierarchy which
positioned men always above women.
