During the Victorian period, there were many social changes and intellectual developments. As a result, a crisis of faith rocked society. How does the speaker In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson reflect this crisis in society?

A.
Grieving, the speaker first conveys his despair and anger but then reconfirms his religious belief.

B.
The speaker questions the purpose of friendship, since friends are separated by death.

C.
As a result of his friend’s death, the speaker’s love for his friend decreases, but then his affection grows.

D.
Wondering what becomes of his friend after death, the speaker questions the nature of identity.

Alfred Tennyson in his poem 'In Memoriam A.H.H.' reflects the crunch of 'faith rocked society' through mourning. The speaker of his poem displays sorrow and gloom first after the death of Hallam, his friend, and anguish as he feels low after losing his friend. However, this is followed by a restatement of his religious faith by stating his hope that despite his friend lost his physical body but he still has the opportunity to reunite with his soul. He wants that whenever he reassociates with him, Hallam can recall all the memories they shared together on Earth and stay together till eternity. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
