What did rich Victorians think of the poor Victorians?
Some Victorians pitied the poor and tried to be charitable to them. However, the prevalent systems in dealing with the poor were based on Malthusian and utilitarian ideals. Basically, Malthusian thought said that the poor reproduced at a rate that would eventually put a strain on the food supply. For that reason families were separated in the workhouses: Victorians were very opposed to public sexual displays, so needless to say that they wouldn't have taken any of the few chances they had to make a baby. The utilitarian view is what encouraged the creation of the workhouses to begin with; the idea was that if the poor were allowed to live in their own homes, they wouldn't work harder to provide for themselves, so they were placed in the worst living conditions imaginable to give them a reason to work harder to leave.
