Question:the abuses of the Aristocracy on their lower class servants?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: the abuses of the Aristocracy on their lower class servants?

The Marriage of Figaro centers around the droit du seigneur, which meant that lord or in this case, Count Almaviva, could have sexual relations with a servant's bride - in this case, Figaro's bride Susanna - on her wedding night. So I would say in that regard, it definitely shows the abuse of power over lower servants and the class structure.
