hannibal833 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 The Red and the Black - Stendhal The story starts by presenting the de Renal family, who are in need of a tutor for their children. They hire Julien Sorel, the intelligent and aspiring son of a carpenter, who later becomes the lover of Madame de Renal. Julien soon leaves their home in search for fame and recognition, on the path to priesthood, and encounters the countless flaws of the people belonging to the Church. Later, he becomes the secretary of Marquis de la Mole, a wealthy diplomat, and thus, learns about the life of the aristocracy. The writer depicts the world of Paris with irony, showing how the lack of moral values are hidden beneath the sparkle of wealth, making them not only acceptable, but actually the only way one could ever get in the higher classes.
