The three estates, a concept from medieval and early modern society, are typically depicted as follows: the First Estate comprises the clergy, representing spiritual authority and moral guidance; the Second Estate includes the nobility, symbolizing political power and privilege; and the Third Estate consists of commoners, encompassing the majority of the population who bear the burden of taxes and labor. In literature and art, the First Estate is often portrayed as pious and benevolent, the Second Estate as regal and privileged, while the Third Estate is depicted as hardworking yet oppressed, highlighting social inequalities and tensions. This depiction reflects the societal hierarchy and the various roles each estate plays in maintaining or challenging the status quo.
