Resum
[eng] The concept of obedience and, subsequently, of disobedience has been a common
attraction for the human being throughout the centuries. Whereas the first concept has
been always related to order and progress, the latter has been usually associated to
chaos. Yet, without rebellion, the world we live in nowadays would not exist. In the
Victorian Period, this topic was not at all ignored: writers, painters, philosophers and
politicians worked on such a human matter, attracted by all the questions and
contradictions it posed. In this paper, I will focus on how Elizabeth Gaskell explores
the politics of obedience and disobedience in North and South (1855), one of her best
known works, in terms of gender and class. To do this, the novel’s historical context
regarding women, the working class and also her religion, which is basic in order to
understand her writing, will be taken very much into account as well.
