Into the Victorian Underworld

Create a story centred on the daily life of a character involved in the less glamorous, darker side of Victorian society.

The Victorian era was known for its marked class difference and crime, with a thriving underworld. Write a story that captures the challenges, motivations, and lifestyle of a character involved in this clandestine world. Consider the characters’ moral compass, relationships, their way of life and the survival tactics in an era marked by stringent societal norms.
