Are you one of the millions of Americans who tuned in to Season 3 of Downton Abbey? Some of us are just downright "addicted" to this lavish historical series. What is it that makes it so appealing to American audiences? What makes the "toffs" or the upstairs tick? And of course, what goes through the minds of those downstairs?
Masters and servants lived under one roof, but each group with different expectations and experiences. Upstairs and downstairs functioned in a symbiotic relationship; neither class could exist without the other. In this blog, we will explore the time, place, and conditions that created the "great age of servants". We will analyze the mindset of both the upstairs and downstairs and explore the dynamics of the master/servant relationship. Join us weekly as we examine the psychology of the upstairs and downstairs.
