Post B Week 2 Suite Francaise

This novel seems to be about the elite upper-class looking down upon the lower class. Madame Pericand looks down upon her maids and other employees, Father Pericand looks down upon the orphan boys to the point that he hates them, and is also terrified of them. The writer Gabriel Corte does the same with his servants, leaving them with large responsibilities then becoming angry with them for not performing the tasks up to his high expectations.
