Historical Background
In general, the overall atmosphere in twentieth century and after was not much optimistic comparing to the previous Victorian era. It was true that the development and progress was still going on but, the adjective ‘skeptic’ was the most appropriate word to describe this period.
First of all, people became skeptic of the traditional concept or system which has supported the society until that moment. The changes which made this breakdown happened in various fields such as women status, religion. In fact, the religion had to endure serious breakdown. Previous religion with absolute power became decentered by being one of mythologies. Also, some people such as Nietzsche even declared the death of God. Rather than the traditional God, advances in technology including mass-produced automobiles, as a new religion and principle gradually substitute it. Besides, owing to the development in studies and visual arts, people could see rationality rather than just relying on the myth and religion. This was not all.
