7. “Ulysses” represent of Victorian Period by Tennyson
The Victorian era is well-known for its enrichment of knowledge,
extension of empire and growth of economy. The age had a spirit of
activity. In the famous poem “Ulysses” Tennyson reflects this spirit of
the people of Victorian society. In this poem we notice that Ulysses has
spent twenty years of his life in battles and adventure. He has seen and
learnt many things, yet he is not satisfied. He was thirst for knowledge
and therefore He comments,
“How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
“To rust unfurnished, not to shine in use !”
His Victorian spirit is fully reflected when he says that even in old age
his ambition is
“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

8. Reflection of Victorian age in the poem of ‘Lotus eaters’ by Tennyson.
The People of Victorian age felt tired with their never ending race. They
expected a life of settled order, stability and peace. Tennyson reflects this
trend in the poem “The Lotus-Eaters”. Here we see that after reaching
the lotus island and eating lotus fruits, the mariners are fascinated by the
keep and quiet environment of the island. Although they have a long way
to go to reach their homeland, but they don’t want to travel or struggle
any more. They plan to live in this island in a state of permanent rest and
peace.
That’s how Tennyson reflects Victorian age in his works.
