Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold

Dover Beach is a poem that talks about the point of view of Matthew Arnold, which is the author, about the Victorian Period. This stage of England was characterized by poverty, famine and human misery. There was hard to live in that time, so this author thought is could be a good idea to translate his fellings disguising some concepts in the poem. For example, Dover Beach is actually a natural kind of fortress and has been the witness of many kind of wars and struggles. I consider that maybe the author decided to write about this place because of the meaning it has a fortress. At the end of the poem he declares that almost the only thing it is worth to live is the love he and her beloved have, so maybe in order to protect himself and his love from the world they were living in, he decided to choose Dover Beach as the context of the poem.
