Menetra and social class

Explain the significance of social class to Mntra in 3-5 pages. He does not define the term explicitly. But, implicitly, he has a great deal to say about social distinctions. How does he mark the boundary between different classes? What, for him, were the most important social groups and social distinctions in French society in his day? Were those ranks inherited? How does he understand merit and virtue? You should grapple with what he meant rather than what we understand today about social class. The paper is focus on engagement with the text and not the ability to research at this point. You may indicate the source of Mntra’s passages you discuss in parentheses in the text.
