Thomas Hobbes attributed the creation of social organization to men and women who “had originally banded together for the sake of preservation”. However, this interest soon changed as social organizations had become “elaborate hierarchical structures’, whom those at the top felt entitled to a share of social power. Along with these hierarchical structures, society seemed to have performed in a seemingly uniform way. Education was limited to the wealthy, while literature was used in means to stimutameously delight and instruct their readers of what is moral in society and what is not. Women only had the ability to accomplish getting married and taking care of their children. A divine spirit was the only explanation of the elements unknown. Finally, the past served as a concrete guide as to how the future should be approached.

However, the Age of Enlightenment was a time that ushered the whole world into a new era. This new age promoted us to see our own judgement and senses, to remain skeptical and critical towards everything around us, to question divine revelation. This age gave us a “new sense of equality of all humans beings” which demanded for universal human rights. As Isaac Newton marked the change of the unknown from God’s creation to science, revolutions sparked in all major areas of society. Modern values and science promoted individualism as opposed to the classical side. Social instability marked the initiations of a change as women started to expand and showcase their full intellectual and moral capacities. Social responsibility started to acknowledge human obligations and ethical standards. Literature started to focus on the art of realism, which allowed the readers to “convey the literal feel f experience” rather than read other’s promoted agendas. The value of permanence was challenged against the value of change. It was a change that people were stimutameously waiting for and astonished by.
