Italian society is largely viewed as hierarchical. There's slaves at the bottom, freedman above them, and freeborn citizens at the top.
Upper-class Italian society during the Renaissance and into the Baroque period was characterized by wealth, power, and a focus on family lineage. Marriages were often arranged to strengthen political alliances and consolidate wealth among noble families. Dowries played a crucial role in these unions, with families negotiating substantial sums to ensure favorable matches. This system reinforced social hierarchies and often prioritized economic and political benefits over romantic love.
Life in the South for the upper middle class was carefree
In a largely illiterate society, scribes are frequently something like middle class.
The social structure in Russia is divided into various classes. The nobles are the upper class and the lower class is for peasants. There is a middle class for those who are below the upper class but above the lower class.
The upper class citizens of 1912 were quite contented with their lives, until the industrial uprise (many strikes and demands made by labourers) and the titanic then WW1 etc. there was a class divide like we havnt seen since then. Read An Inspector Calls by J.B. priestley x

I think that the lower class people like tituba and other helpers were eaiser to accues because they had no rights and no say.Abbigale was high middle class because of her relations to Paris which is upper class and so she had the power like any upper class people in society to accuse the lower class people without being douted.
Nazi Germany was a classless society. The point was that anyone could climb the ranks. (this was another reason why the former upper class did not like the Nazis)
They forced the government to change. They wanted to be in the upper class and did not like all the favors being done for people just because of their blood.
Depends on where you are. This would be considered middle class in cities like New York and San Fransisco. But in most other locations, it would be considered upper middle class.
They didnt like it!
Rulers, nobility and priests, much like any other culture. Perhaps scribes too, but it isn't sure for certain how they were perceived.
The upper class and royalty were treated with a high amount respect and had a lot off power. They helped make destions about the areas they lived in and treated the poor like animals. It was a different time and the poor and the upper class/royalty were to completely seprate groups.
both had a rigid class system
Although Karl Marx called members of the upper class the "bourgeoisie," the two terms are not synonymous. The bourgeoisie are the people who own and control the means of production, not just the upper class. People may be in the upper class if they are wealthy like professional people and shopowners, but they are not part of Marx's bourgeoisie, because they do not own the means of production of good and they don't employ workers in factories. Likewise, the term "proletariat" does not equate exactly to the "lower class."
No, modern society has not had a system as rigid and extensive as India's caste system, which has historically dictated social status and occupations based on hereditary groupings. Such a system is considered discriminatory and has been outlawed in many countries.
