Balzac's work style:
Balzac described the historical period of the alternation of feudalism and capitalism in France in the first half of19th century from the perspective of contemporary custom historians, which is called "the encyclopedia of French society". The characteristic of this period is that money gradually replaced aristocratic titles. 1830 after the revolution, the power of money rule was particularly strong.
The bourgeoisie aims at making money in life, and they achieve their goals through various methods and means, but more often they plunder through fraud and violence.
Balzac described the different classes, classes, occupations and places of activities in French society during the historical period from Napoleon Empire to Restoration Dynasty to July Dynasty, making his works a vast social picture composed of more than 2,000 characters, from which we can see the law that feudalism is inevitably replaced by capitalism and some drawbacks of the capitalist system. ?
