Konstruiranje viktorijanskog Londona

This paper tried to showcase how space can affect people. Focus was on Victorian London. It analyzed space in these books: The Picture of Dorian Gray, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hawksmoor and From Hell. London at that time had an incredible increase of population. This resulted in an incredibly gap between higher and lower class. Lower class could barely survive. Every day was a struggle to survive till next day. Space was divided and crossing the boundaries would result in being outcasted and punished. That happened to Jekyll and Dorian who tried to live a double life. Society at that time tried to completely forget about the past, and only focused on present and on future. That proved to be impossible. London‟s past was a part of Victorian London and even though they ignored it we see the power of that past. Hawksmoor‟s churches are full of old heathen motifs that most people at that time did not even notice. But even though they were not noticed they were powerful and affected the people.Ovaj rad je pokušao prikazati utjecaj prostora na ljude. Rad se prvenstveno fokusirao na viktorijanski London. U ovom se je radu analizirao prostor unutar knjiga: Slika Doriana Graya, Čudnovat slučaj dr. Jekylla i g. Hydea, Hawksmoor i Pakao. London u to vrijeme je imao ogroman porast stanovništva. To je dovelo do ogromnog jaza između bogatog i siromašnog sloja društva. Siromašni sloj društva je jedva preživljavao. Svaki dan im je bila borba preživljavanja. Prostor je podijeljen i uspostavljene su granice koje se nisu smjese prelaziti. Oni koji bi prekršili ta pravila visokog društva kao Dorian i Jekyll koji su probali voditi dvostruki život su bili kažnjeni. Društvo toga vremena je pokušalo zaboraviti prošlost. Samo se je fokusiralo na sadašnjost i na budućnost. To se je pokazalo nemogućim. Prošlost Londona je bila dio viktorijanskog Londona, te iako su je oni ignorirali mogli smo vidjeti njenu moć. Hawksmoorove crkve su pune poganskih motiva koje većina ljudi ne primjećuje, ali iako su neprimjećeni oni utjeću na ljude
