Explanation:

This question refers to Jane Taylor's poem "The Violet".

Now, let us first analyze the word "modest". It can denote someone who is shy and doesn't brag or someone who doesn't want to take credits for his achievements, someone who doesn't want to be in the center of attention.

In this poem, the violet is growing silently and isolated in a shade of the trees, shyly hanging its head as if it doesn't want to bother anyone.

However, the violet is a beautiful flower which could have graced a rose with its colors and smell.

But it is satisfied there, in the shades, off the spotlight, where it can grow peacefully.

it shaped life in both positive and negative ways. the positive sides of the medieval government was that it had a very strong and military. the citizens felt safer because of the high military interference. the citizens also had a positive attitude towards the artisan class and gave a huge respect to them. there is also a negative side of the government where the government would use the military too much on its citizens which created a sense of autocracy. it was oppressive to the peasants especially to the women.
