Describe the the gentleman and the type of people who might belong to this social class?

Answer 1

The concept of the nineteenth-century Gentleman is a complex one, though it is one which is, as one recent critic has noted, "the necessary link in any analysis of mid-Victorian ways of thinking and behaving." The Victorians themselves were not certain what a gentleman was, of what his essential characteristics were, or of how long it took to become one. Why, then, were so many of them so anxious to be recognized as one?

Answer 2

A gentleman is typically seen as a man of refinement, good manners, and usually belonging to a higher social class. People who might belong to this social class could include wealthy professionals, aristocrats, and those with prestigious backgrounds who embody qualities like sophistication, integrity, and gentlemanly behavior.

Answer 3

Historically, a gentleman was a man born into a noble or royal family. In modern times, a gentleman is simply a man with impeccable behavior and good manners.
