Answer and Explanation:
Arnold lived in the Victorian era roughly in England and it was said to be the period of the industrial revolution and immense technological advancement as well as social change in which Arnold was writing right on the brink between the old stable England and the new modern faced paced industrial England which was quickly expanding.
'Dover Beach' is about the uncertainty of this period of change in which he talks about the alienation which comes from the new era, where before the industrial revolution people worked together and things happened at a slower pace, whereas with the industrial revolution machines began taking the jobs of people, and things were being mass produced and in the work force there really wasn't much unity.

2. The statement "they were far better off" indicates that they experienced oppression "in the days of Jones".
Thus, after their ordeal they were determined more than ever to avoid the alternative of not preventing the return of the human beings.
