97% The Third Estate: Common People (the middle class[4%], the workers[8%], the peasants[85%]) Social and Economic Discontents of the French Revolution Social inequality The First Estate: The Clergy The Second Estate: The Nobility : Privileges & Restrictions 3%

From the diary of the English writer Arthur Young, on his travel through France, July “Walking up a long hill…. I was joined by a poor woman who complained of the times and that it was a sad country;… she said her husband had only a small amount of land, one cow and a poor little horse, yet they had……very heavy tailles, other taxes and dues. She had seven children, and …This woman, at no great distance might have been taken for 60 or 70, her figure was so bent and her face so … hardened by labour - but she said she was only 28.” 1. To which social group did this ‘old’ woman belong? 2. What kind of suffering was she complaining about?

Class Discussion Refer to the cartoon on p2 of Book 2B. –The old man represents the Third Estate. To which social group of that estate does he belong? What clues does the cartoonist use to make the suggestion? – What do the other two people represent? What helps you think so? –Do you think that the cartoon has reflected fully the problem of social inequality in France before the French revolution?
