In British news the Green
party is working hard to gain votes for their cause. The Green party devote themselves to making
the environment better for everyone and to give a voice to the voiceless. Currently they are going out of their way to
the city’s deprived areas to gain votes form the working class and ethnic
majorities. This news ties into some of
the themes of society classes that are brought up within the novels I am currently
reading in my British literature class.
In the novel, Villette by
Charlotte Bronte, the book contains class structures through pedigrees and social
positions. This novel brings up issues
of social class around 1800’s around the time the book was written. The current book, Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia
Woolf, also brings up the issue of differences in class amongst the
characters. Many of the same class
problems of the 1800’s continued into the 1900’s when Mrs. Dalloway was
created. Over time a few things about social
classes have changed but today through society some of the differences in class
are still noticeable like the working class in the deprived areas of the
city.
