(2/2) Further questions -- really just questions

Date: 2008-06-30 10:05 am (UTC)
I have just a couple of questions in line with your track of thinking:

1) Class and women: are women and men treated even slightly differently in the 19th-century mentality with regards to classism? The daughter of a French courtesan may be bred-in-the-bone less honorable than pure Englishwomen, but does mother-blood count for less than father-blood when it comes to inherited social class -- i.e. are female social-climbers in the form of Cinderella deemed permissible in at least some occasions?

2) Sorry, I just had to ask: how does the 19 century do its homophobia? Does that relate to how the HP universe does its homophobia -- be the Good Repressed Gay and we'll let you live, even prosper and succeed?

Sorry if the answers are very obvious. Like I said I'm completely ignorant on these issues.
