From the first pages of the novel, Gaskell establishes the importance of the social norms and traditions that guide the community of Hollingford. How is social status introduced and reinforced in the first two parts of the novel?
My edition of the novel indicates the chapters as well as the original publication parts. I am trying to have us read the parts as closely as possible to the orginal when it began publication in August of 1864. Chapters 1-3 are part 1 and chapters 4-6 are part 2. Typically parts 1 and two were published together.
