bourgeois drama

Bourgeois drama refers to plays and stories that focus on the concerns, values, and issues of the middle and upper classes in society. These works often explore themes like personal relationships, morality, social status, and everyday conflicts within a relatively comfortable or materialistic setting. The genre tends to emphasize individual roles and societal norms, reflecting the interests and perspectives of the bourgeoisie. While sometimes criticized for lacking revolutionary edge, bourgeois drama provides insight into the values, aspirations, and tensions experienced by the middle class in a given period.
