The Social/Economic Upper-Class in England in Mrs. Dalloway, Sense and

The social/monetary high society in England in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray are delineated through the characters’ ways of life, riches, and practices. Woolf, Austen, and Wilde give adroit depictions of the characters by underlining their social jobs in the England society. Their depictions of the characters recommend that they are incredulous of the upper-class’ factitious ways of life. Individuals from England’s social/monetary high society in Woolf’s, Austen’s, and Wilde’s scholarly works are recognized by their ways of life. In Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, the high society seem to have a straightforward and agreeable life. One of Woolf’s focal points of the upper-class’ way of life is Clarissa Dalloway. Clarissa’s way of life comprises of arranging and facilitating get-togethers for the individuals from the high society. At the point when Woolf says, â€Å"Mrs. Dalloway said she would purchase the blossoms herself. For Lucy had a difficult, but not impossible task ahead (Woolf 3), he takes note of that it is a rare occurrence the high society ladies do their own obligations. The ladies are likewise seen as lethargic in light of the fact that they don't need to work professionally. The high society ladies invest a lot of their relaxation energy shopping, keeping up their social job by going to get-togethers, and e njoying their wants. They appear to carry on with a luxurious way of life in light of the fact that â€Å"they lived with all that they wanted† (Woolf 111), regardless of whether it was â€Å"breakfast in bed† (Woolf 111), or having hirelings to accomplish their work for them. Austen’s Sense and Sensibility gives itemized impression of the privileged ways of life. Like Woolf’s depictions in Mrs. Dalloway, the parts of the high society in Austen’s epic infer that they live a loose lifestyle.... ...hasize the impacts that the privileged societal position has on a person’s way of life, conduct, and point of view of others. They likewise accentuate the social desires and limitations for the high society ladies, including their social job, appearance, and characters. It is demonstrated from the authors’ scholarly works, that individuals are passed judgment on dependent on their social position. Woolf, Austen, and Wilde’s depictions of the high society in their abstract works show that a privileged economic wellbeing doesn't guarantee joy. Works Cited Austen, Jane. Sense and Sensibility. Ed.
