It describes the evil methods of the bourgeois upstarts in realistic writing: Grandet controls the market, drives up prices, engages in public debt speculation, and usury; Charles sells people, evades taxes and smuggling, colludes with pirates, etc. The work takes the miser Grandet's family life and exploitative activities as the main line, and Eugenie's love and marriage tragedy as the central event. It analyzes Grandet's sinful fortune and his dehumanizing money worship in layers, and successfully portrays the immortal image of the miser in the history of world literature. This book also includes "Old Man Goriot", which tells the story of the protagonist Goriot Goriot, a flour merchant who started his career during the French Revolution. He lost his wife in middle age. He 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 dowry of 800,000 francs each when they got married. However, his two daughters lived a lavish life, and his love was easily defeated by the principle of money supremacy. This work is representative in showing the breadth and depth of social life, in reflecting the progress and limitations of the writer's worldview, and in expressing the artistic achievements and shortcomings of "The Human Comedy". Its artistic style is one of the works that can represent the characteristics of Balzac.
