This article will compare and contrast the ways in which people interacted with each other in 16th century Europe, 19th century England, and the 1950s United States. The article will describe how people introduced themselves to each other, expressed their sexual feelings and met through casual acquaintances. The next three paragraphs will talk about what happened during the time periods. This will perhaps explain why people behaved the way they did in that time period. Next, comparing and contrasting how people interact will be explored. Finally, I will conclude with a summary of my findings. During the Renaissance Italy, unlike England and France, did not have a main capital. Instead, it had many centers for regional states. Some of these cities were Milan, Rome, Venice and Florence. Another Renaissance culture developed around Mantua and Urbino. During the 15th century, students came from all over Europe to study in Italy. Also during the Renaissance, Italian literature, clothing, furniture, and art were imitated in Holland, France, Germany, Spain, and England (Renaissance 30). In the nineteenth century, England and Wales were divided into fifty-two counties. In this century the English hunted foxes (Pool 24). Central London, known as “The City,” dropped from one hundred and twenty-eight thousand to fifty thousand, while the rest of London grew from one million to four and a half million. In London the most fashionable area was the West End. The East End was full of poverty and misery (Pool 28). The 1950s, which followed World War II, were part of the Truman and Eisenhower years. In 1950, Joseph R. McCarthy insisted that conspiracies existed in the federal government. During this decade there was a tremendous increase in population from one hundred and fifty million to one hundred and seventy-nine million. The US court also got rid of racial discrimination. Furthermore, in 1954 he ruled that racial discrimination in schools was unconstitutional (U.S. History 67-68). Although the 16th century was different from the 19th century, there were some similarities. There were intermarriage between people who were not of the same class (Hale 444). For example, in Our Mutual Friend Eugene, a gentleman, marries Lizzy, a boatwoman. Romeo, a Capulet, and Juliet, a rival of the Montagues, also get married even though they belonged to opposite families (Shakespeare 337). Sex was also highly regarded. In Romeo and Juliet, after the Capulet party, Mercutio teases Romeo about Rosaline in a sexual way (Shakespeare 319). Jenny Wren thought that Eugene Wrayburn simply wanted to make Lizzy Hexem his “doll” (OMF). Of course, as people change, there has been a change in behavior in love. Before the 18th century, love was not expected to end well (Hatfield 7). Romeo drank poison and Juliet stabbed herself (Shakespeare 389-390).
