Besant describing the middle class of the 9th century wrote “In the first place it was for a more class apart”. In no sense it belongs to society. Men in professions of any kind (except in the Army and Navy) could only belong to society by right of birth and family connections; men in trade – bankers were still accounted tradesmen-could not possibly belong to society. That is to say, if they went to live in country there were not called upon by the county families and in the town they were not admitted by the men into their clubs or by ladies into their houses. The middle class knew its own place, respected itself, made its own society for itself, and cheerfully accorded to rank the deference due.””Since then, however, the life of middle classes had undergone great changes as their numbers had swelled and their influenced had increased. Their already well developed consciousness of the own importance had deepened. More critical than they had been in the past of certain aspects of aristocratic life, they were also more concerned with the plight of poor. And the importance of their own values of society, thrift, hand work, piety and respectability as examples of ideal behavior for the guidance of the lower orders. Above all they were respectable. There were divergences of opinion as to what exactly was respectable and what was not universally recognized: wild and drunker behaviors were certainly not respectable, nor were godlessness or avert promiscuity, not an ill-ordered home life, unconventional manners, self-indulgence or flamboyant clothes and personal adornments.

Evolution of Middle Class
The middle class of medieval times was neither accepted by rural society nor by urbane society, so it was a separate class. But this class shaped its status according to its level of respect in the society. With the growth of population and power, thinking of this class about its value in the society rooted firmly. The values of this class like; self reliance, money saving, and piousness were perfect solution for the poor. Inspite of different point of views on values, some values were whole heartedly disrespectful like; crazy attitude, agnosticism, multi sex partners, poor family system, showy dressing and use of ornaments.
