Laura, I really appreciate your linking of the two pieces under this context. At least for myself, sometimes it helps to understand the meaning if I think of them as pieces of a puzzle, instead of separate works. Both of these works tell us in different ways how the social stratification was present and in which ways it affected people. The use of wealth and power to assert one’s place in the social hierarchy is not a new concept but it is very interesting to see how this power was asserted and in what it ways it was different for different layers of society.
