The class system in Flatland relied on the types of geometrical figures. If a figure a few sides than it would be lower in the class system while the more sides a figure had the higher it would be in the class system of Flatland. So shapes such as isosceles triangles were considered soldiers and lower class because they only had three sides, the middle class consisted of equilateral or equal sided triangles, the professional men and gentlemen were squares and five-sided figures/pentagons, then comes the nobility which begin at hexagons and go all the way to the title of a Polygonal figure. But the highest class of all is the Priestly order, they are considered to be the highest of

When figures are viewed in Flatland they seem to be very similar, so the inhabitants of Flatland have various ways of recognizing each others social class. The process of this recognition is called “threefold”, the first one being by the sense of hearing. Each class has a different sound of voice. But it is not that accurate being that an isosceles can imitate the voice of a circle with much practice. So the second practice is when the figures feel each other and they can tell what class they belong to by the amount of sides that are felt. The third being recognition of sight, so if you are looking where it bisects and angle all figures would seem the same, and if there was a fog these shapes would also seem the same. This detection by sight is a difficult process to describe without diagrams, that’s why only the upper class figures knew had to use this method.

all shape because in reality a circle is a really a figure with countless sides.
