Classes in the world

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.
