Another piece that i did for one of Emile Zola's work, called L'Assommoir. This novel he stated, was the only book to reveal the true face of the working classes in 19th century France.
I did this on the feminine issues. All the women in this novel, are illustrated with misogynistic and sexual sentiments, violence, death, poverty and suffering and an endless cycle of social difficulties.
The truth in which Zola confronts, is the sadness in which these poor, ignorant people see this social structure and lifestyle as thier norm, and simply accept the way things are, especially the women. Zola stuck true to the realism and verisimilitude of these people's lives. It is sad, that for the women in this novel, that the psychological and social structure of their society are in a continual heredity cycle due to thier environment and circumstances.
