Study Notes

Clothing and Identity in Victorian Society

In Victorian society, clothing reveals social class and affects how one is perceived by the legal system.
Nancy's disguise as a middle-class woman includes a plainly displayed door key, signifying that she is a property owner and therefore from a higher social class.
By dressing as a middle-class woman, Nancy gains a social voice and visibility, transforming from an anonymous member of the lower class to an individual worthy of being heard.

Class Distinctions in the Police Station

The police station, as a representation of the legal system, recognizes Nancy as an individual with a voice only when she is dressed as a middle-class woman.
