What would a Victorian literary element in Part one be?

Consider the great importance of social class iand identity in Victorian society. The theme of identity in the novel is briefly touched upon in this chapter as well, when the reader learns that the Tallis grandfather was born under a different name, Cartwright, and no one knows when and why it was changed. This limits the roots of the Tallis home further complicating Briony's own struggle with who she is--fictional writer or true historian.
