“Old Man Goriot” is one of the excellent works of Balzac, a great French writer in the 19th century. It vividly depicts the naked money relationship between people in the capitalist world. The two daughters of the old man have always lived a luxurious life under the upbringing of the old man. One of them climbed to the nobility, entered the high society, and became the upstart Mrs. Restort; the other liked money, married a banker, and became Mrs. Nucingen. When they got married, each received a dowry of 80 francs, so they flattered and cared for their father in every possible way. But soon, the precious daughters both kicked their father out of the gate, leaving him to live a shabby life in the dilapidated Vogue apartment. Through the tragedy of Old Man Goriot, “Old Man Goriot” describes the despicable crimes of the ruling class in detail, criticizes the social reality of materialistic desires and ugly human nature, and exposes the bourgeoisie’s personality degeneration and interpersonal relationships under the domination of money power. Naked money relationships.
