"Petro Goriot" is the foundation work of "Human Comedy". The protagonist of the work, Old Man Gao, devoted all his love to his two daughters. In order to let them squeeze into the upper class, he gave them a good education since childhood and gave them a large dowry when they got married. However, the two daughters were vain and selfish. They only cared about having fun and did not care about their father's life or death. In the end, Goriot died of a stroke, and they did not even attend the funeral. Through the tragedy of Old Man Goriot, the work reveals the loss of personality of the bourgeoisie under the control of money and the naked money relationship between people, and criticizes the social reality of materialism and ugly human nature in the capitalist world.
