| dc.description.abstract | The works of André Malraux provoke a lot of reactions in the literary world by virtue of their direct bearing on human life and man’s fate. As a result, social themes such as fraternity, solidarity, loneliness, love, torture, suffering, misery, action, death, revolt and many others in his works have been thoroughly dealt with by a good number of critics and analysts. However, the themes of Social Classes, their nature, characteristics and ideologies have not been extensively studied. The different types of social classes that are found in the novel and which constitute undoubtedly an important aspect of Malraux’s thought are directly linked to human existence. This study therefore aims at identifying the different types of social classes and to demonstrate the nature of relationships which exist among them and how indispensable they are to one other. The social classes identified in the work of Malraux are the ruling class, the bourgeoisie, the proletariat and the peasant class. Each social class has its own ideologies and moral principles by which it functions. It has rules and regulations which are applied conscientiously to conditions prevailing at a particular time in an attempt to always maintain law, peace and order. Nevertheless, the social classes undertake enterprises for selfish benefits and do not take into account the interest of other classes. Despite their differences, the social classes depend on each another. The ruling class and the bourgeoisie collaborate to exploit the proletariat and the peasant class, while the proletariat and the peasant class also team up against the two superior classes. We have therefore attempted to identify the repercussions the behaviour and the activities undertaken by each social class have on the lives of others. Our work looked at these issues from a functionalist perspective. | en_US |
