  43. The novel The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle takes place in the 19th century. It is easy for readers to see this because of how class, women, and children are written about. The first piece of evidence that the novel takes place in the 19th century is how class is handled. Charlotte’s family is from the upper class. Her family has at least three servants who take care of them. When Charlotte wanted to get butter for herself at dinner, her father told her to let the servant do it. The second piece of evidence that the novel takes place in the 19th century is how women are discussed. Men and women in the novel have their places. Charlotte is expected to dress in fine dresses, keep out of the sun and obey. Her mother is shocked when she gets off the boat in finds that her hair is short and her skin is tan. Women in the 19th century were supposed to be properly dressed at all times. The final piece of evidence that the novel takes place in the 19th century is how children are written about. When Charlotte returned home, readers met her younger brother and sister. When they were joking with Charlotte, their parents quickly scolded them, reminding them to act properly. Furthermore, they were sent from the room when Charlotte and her parents were about to discuss improper things that children shouldn’t hear. In conclusion, there is much evidence in the novel that it takes place during the 19th century.
