... impression on him. He says that he
was drawn to the Greeks "for their magnificent form, the symmetry." "That
form has never left me; I suppose it just got burned in." However Arthur
Miller argued that times have changed- "we no longer live in an era
dominated by kings and queens- and so maybe our definition of tragedy

A Tale Of Two Cities: Faults Of Social Structure
... shows the
difference between the classes is when the Monseigneur is having his chocolate
while everyone is waiting to speak with him. When he is done with his chocolate
all he does is walk out and brushes past everyone else as if they are not there.
