The Old Man is artistically rigorous, the author sets up a typical environment, so that the typical characters are active, so that the money relationship between people and the environment fits, the book arranges four plot threads, with Rastigne's fall as the main line, and several others play a supporting role, criss-crossing and distinct;The portrayal of typical characters is Balzac's greatest feature, whether it is the description of appearance or psychological portrayal, or even a detail, such as the old man who eats a piece of bread to sniff under his nose, all make the characters more vivid and vivid, the personalization of the character language is also a major skill of the author, the author depicts a series of extremely ugly pictures of the material society in Paris, revealing the moral decline of the bourgeoisie and the cruelty of the people under the rule of money, revealing the inevitable demise of the aristocratic class under the attack of the bourgeoisie, and truly reflecting the characteristics of the Bourbon Restoration period。

In The Tall Old Man, Balzac successfully portrays the complex relationship between class and class consciousness through the fate of Lusty and the tall old man. This complex relationship has its historical basis. As two different classes, the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie had different economic bases, different lifestyles and different values, each dominating in different historical periods.

In this sense, when it comes to France specifically, whether it is the ascent of Rastigne or the tragic end of the old man, it is the inevitable result of a specific historical situation.

The Old Man also succeeded in portraying Rastigne, a young careerist, and Baussion, a declining noblewoman. The former was originally a young aristocratic man from the province of Hu, who wanted to come to Paris to go to the university to revive his family business, but after witnessing the spendthrift of high society and the bright lights and wine, his desire to climb up doubled, and he was instigated by the Viscountess Baussion and the fugitive Vodleon, and he increasingly lost his honest conscience and began to sell his integrity for money, especially after witnessing that the two daughters of the old man Gao treated their father like dried lemons, and strengthened their determination to go down the road of the bourgeoisie.

At the same time, this process also eliminated impure members of the bourgeoisie, such as the old man Gao. Consolidate the bourgeoisie from within. This reflects the complexity of the historical process of the replacement of the aristocracy by the bourgeoisie.

The struggle between the two will take place not only externally, but also internally, and will manifest itself not only in the form of revolution, but also in the form of an ideological struggle.

The author depicts a series of extremely ugly pictures of the material society of Paris, revealing the moral decline of the bourgeoisie and the cruelty of the people under the rule of money, revealing the inevitable demise of the aristocratic class under the attack of the bourgeoisie, and truly reflecting the characteristics of the Bourbon Restoration.

I hope it will be helpful to you: this work is representative in showing the breadth and depth of social life, in reflecting the progress and limitations of the writer's worldview, and in showing the artistic achievements and shortcomings of The Human Comedy. Its artistic style best represents Balzac's characteristics.

**Set in Paris from the end of 1819 to the beginning of 1820, it mainly tells two parallel and intersecting stories: the old man of the retired noodle merchant Gaurio was snubbed by his two daughters and died tragically in the attic of the Fugai apartment; The young Rastigne embarked on the path of degeneration under the corruption of Parisian society. It is also interspersed with stories of Madame Baussion and Voltron.

Through the two main stages of the alternating chasby apartments and the luxurious aristocratic salons, the writer paints a picture of the lust and extreme ugliness of Parisian society, exposing the moral degradation of the bourgeoisie and the ruthlessness between people under the domination of the power of money, revealing the inevitable demise of the aristocratic class under the attack of the bourgeoisie, and truly reflecting the characteristics of the period of the Bourbon Restoration.

I read "The Tall Old Man", which is known as "Balzac's best work", known as the prologue to "The Human Comedy", which was once selected as one of the top ten ** in the world, and its main content is like this:

The Vauguet apartment in Paris is home to a number of tenants of unknown origin, including the vicious conspirator, the young university student Rastigne. But the most eye-catching old man with a high number of tenants is none other than this strange old man who has always been a mystery in everyone's eyes. Living a frugal life and dressed poorly, he often had two young and beautiful wives who were gorgeously dressed to visit.

The two women closed the door as soon as they entered, talking in a low voice, which caught the attention of the tenants. Later, after a series of events, the tenants learned that the old man had sold his treasure to pay off his debts for his daughters, who had become countesses and bankers' wives. But what about her daughters?

The poor old man had not been able to come to see him before he died, and the poor old man had thought of his daughter going to the dinner party in a beautiful evening dress.

Balzac took the lives of Rastigne and the old man as the two main lines, and each gave us the life of the characters with their own characteristics. Rastigne was a young man from a rundown aristocratic family who wanted to be an honest and upright judge, but the influence of the luxurious life in Paris deepened his desire to 'get ahead'. He makes use of all kinds of social interactions, with the help of ugly interests and money between people.

Pick and choose? Didn't read the part of the Fugai apartment and the tall old man? Devoted only to Madame Bauseon's salon? Tasteful!
