French Classicism, as reviled in "the return of Martin Guerre" and .
Moliere's The Misanthrope, showed how French Classicism stressed order, .
balance, and simplicity in life in addition to reason, logic and analysis in seeking .
that is true and Æ'ngood. There where two different classes of human beings in the .
French Classical Age. The Aristocrats, (high class) and the Peasants, (low class). .
In the 17th century, Peasants were usually looked down on as the lower orders. .
They wore that insignia because of there social status among higher class or Court .
of the days. Peasants, where a poor class of people made up of small farmers, .
tenants, sharecroppers formed the main labor force of the land. Being a peasant .
was not an easy life. A typical 17th Century Peasant family lived in small cottage .
with dirt floors and only one bath those that had even this much where considered .
well to do Peasants because they had jobs and could provide some of .
what a typical Peasant family would need to survive. .
Although some people of the classical age had it better than others they still .
had to do things like pay taxes, and who better to pay taxes to than King Louis .
XIV. Villagers had much respect for the King in which they thought God gave .
him special powers to serve his people. The Sun King, King Louis XIV, became a .
model and the despair of other less rich and powerful princes who accepted his .
theory of absolute monarch. His great endeavor was to make himself supreme in .
Europe and had a passion for fame. Louis encouraged the growing of culture. .
Louis XIV brought peace, and was a patron of the arts. .
One could find that many conflicts and confusion arose between love, .
Marriage, passion, and reason. Characters like, Bertrande de Rols, the "new" .
Martin Guerre, and Alceste of the Misanthrope, have shown us their flaws and .
strengths alike. Bertrande de Rols, in the return of Martin Guerre, seemed to have .
a concern for her reputation as a woman.
