Compare the extent to which one or more social groups reflect the cultural context in at least two texts on your comparative course.

The King’s Speech is a great example of a cultural divide. It shows the social classes of two families. Of course the Monarchy’s family, headed by The Duke and the family of a normal man, Lionel Logue. This is a great technique of demonstrating to the audience just how different the two social classes are in every aspect of their lives. First, there is a contrast between the doctor’s house and the royal house. Indeed, the doctor’s house is darker; the furniture is simple and looks poor. The wall is rotting, certainly because of the humidity of the room. It shows that the doctor surely is too poor to have heating. In the royal house, we can see that there is light, brightness, and the furniture is smart. Then, there is a contrast too between the clothes. The King wears wealthy clothes, beautiful suit; his wife has a fur coat which symbolizes wealth and both are always immaculately presented. In turn, the doctor wears a modest jacket with a bowtie, it symbolizes a modest life, and while not looking poor he cannot compete with the dress code of The Duke and his family. All these differences show the appurtenance of the two characters in two different social classes. There are at least eight social classes in England, but I will speak only about two of them. First, the social class named “gentry class” or “gentleman class”. This class regroups people who live on rents without working, or people who don’t work in agriculture. Here in this film, the doctor is working, but he is from the “gentry’s class”. Then, there is the royal class. In this class, there are all the members of the royal family, or a close person of the queen or the King. Without hesitation, the King is a member of this class.
