Abstract
This research explores in justices of aristocratic society towards the working class people
in Hemingway’s memoir A Moveable Feast. The city of Paris reflects gap between aristocratic
and working class people. Hemingway’s struggling life in Paris reflects that the city has been a
blooming city of Europe. There are various injustices and class conflict prevalent. It is a political
tension and economic antagonism that exits in society consequent to social-economic
competition among the social classes. Class conflict determines the struggle between rich and
poor classes in the society. Hemingway’s struggling life represents a very bad effect of World
War I. This memoir mainly focuses on the description of the city of Paris and lifestyle of people.
Through his journey we can identify the socio economic condition of Paris after the World War
I.The journeyof the author reflects his struggle and journey with his family. So, this project has
been completed by theoretical ideas from Neo-Marxist theorists. In capitalistic society most of
the things are determined by economic. As a result, 1920’s Paris was heavily inflicted by the
monitory value.
