Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Set in Paris in 1819, Le Père Goriot by Honoré de Balzac is the story of an overly indulgent father and his two spoiled daughters, and a naive young student who is determined to learn the social climbing game. Goriot's daughters Anastasie and Delphine have married powerful wealthy men, yet they can't stay out of debt and suck their father financially and emotionally dry. Meanwhile, Eugène de Rastignac loses his innocence in his pursuit of money and status, first being told the price by the sinister and enigmatic Vautrin, and then experiencing it for himself. Père Goriot, sometimes translated Old Goriot, is one novel in a vast series of stories by Balzac called La Comédie Humaine, or The Human Comedy. | |

Being Good Sucks | |
| Le Père Goriot / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: Vautrin's famous dialogue with Eugène revolves entirely on this. Vautrin points out that it's simply impossible to make a good living in France at that time, on a salary drawn from honest work. Rastignac as a student would not be able to afford and maintain a house for himself, nor would he be able to earn enough to maintain the lifestyle that a career would need, or money for books. Rastignac's only real hope for advancement is to marry into money, forgo any lingering ideals and become a pure Social Climber since those are the kind of people society rewards. | |

An Offer You Can't Refuse | |
| Le Père Goriot / int_7f38c0cd | comment |
An Offer You Can't Refuse: Actually, the line from The Godfather was taken almost verbatim from here, where Vautrin makes the same comment to Eugène. This, in turn, is based on a concept mentioned by Jean-Jacques Rosseau (the philosopher, not a character in the book). | |
