Red and Black is Stendhal's masterpiece and one of the foundation works of French critical realism literature in the19th century. By describing the personal struggle of Julien, a civilian youth during the reign of Charles X, he reflected the social outlook of Bourbon dynasty in the last few years of the Restoration, the situation of various classes and their sharp and complicated struggles around the restoration and repeated restoration. Julian, the hero, is a typical petty-bourgeois personal struggle during the restoration of Bourbon Dynasty. This image is extremely complicated. His personal struggle is combined with his resistance and compromise to society. This contradictory character is the product of the struggle between revolutionary forces and restoration forces, and the result of various ethos at that time.
