You must provide specific information about the society in which Larkin lived and wrote, your current response is too vague. Likewise you need to demonstrate an awareness of Larkin's style, how does this poem fit in with his body of work? Do some research into his life.

Consider why it would benefit the bourgeoise for the proletariat to be plain and uniform
