Aristocracy

Dickens used the development of a conflict between the French lower class and the French government and aristocracy to build plot and suspense. The nobility (the government and aristocracy) is extremely rich and the French lower class are exactly the opposite, very poor. The French lower class suffered for a long time under the tight rulings and restraints of the French government and aristocracy. The lives of ignorant French poor people are described by Charles Dickens as horrendous: "And who among

major themes of Osamu Dazai’s The Setting Sun is the socioeconomic fall of aristocracy in Japan following World War II. The title itself reflects these core themes: when the Japanese write down the name of their home country in Kanji (one of its three alphabets), it  roughly means “land of the rising sun”. The Setting Sun is an allegory that the glory days of Japan have come to an end, specifically their ancient aristocracy and their old families, as well as Japanese culture.

the ordinary Romans, all would be well. This relationship enabled the Roman elite to control not only Rome, but also the rest of Italy and its allies giving the aristocrats more prestige and influence in the political scene.12 In the Republic, aristocracy followed two main virtues, virtus and gloria and displays of these two virtues defined one as a great man, honoring ones ancestors and progeny.

Over the period of time in which Ancient Greek cities-states dominated the world-stage, they discovered and tried out various types of government structures. Not only did the Ancient Greeks tested these various types of governments, but they also left a legacy that would carry on into modern times.

Ancient Greeks had the opportunity to build these government structures as a result of their

around and submissive to threats and pressures only exacerbates the situation. Madame Defarge in A Tale of Two Cities can smoothly be described in this position. She has gone through severe trauma in her childhood and has been pushed by the French aristocracy her whole life. Her thought of retaliation and vengeance is no surprise to the reader. In fact, her revenge extends to the Evremonde family line which includes Charles Darnay and his wife Lucie Manette. Although some might say her longing for revenge

A character who heeds Emerson’s call to act on and “obey no law less than the internal law” pursues individualistic ambitions, relying on personal beliefs and forming a life unburdened by customs or social norms.

These wealthy aristocrats run the country much like a business using the lower classes like employees(Characteristics of Aristocracy). This can be good for the economy of the country and keeping the people employed.

The people can vote for who they want to run this country and they can vote on what they want for this country.Whoever the people chose who they want to run the country they will stay in that place till they retire,die or get voted out. In this type of government not everyone is treated with equality.The richer and

supposed siphoning of food from the peasantry, suspected Royalism and conspiracy of counter revolution; all of which were common and often accurate allegations of the time. Dickens is also correct to illustrate the occasional cruel treatments upon the aristocracy from the revolting classes.
