What is the main point of the novel Red and Black?

Red and Black is the masterpiece of Stendhal's novels, and its subtitle is "1830 Historical Documentary". The "red" in the title symbolizes the red military uniform, and the "black" symbolizes the monk's cassock. The novel describes a young man from other provinces, Julian, who wants to enter the upper class with the cover of the first edition of Red and Black 1824. When he was a governess in the mayor's house, he won the love of the simple Mrs. Sui renard. After the incident, he was forced to enter Besancon Theological Seminary, and was quickly recommended by the dean to be the secretary of Marquis of larmor, and at the same time he was loved by the arrogant Miss larmor. However, his successful career aroused the dissatisfaction of other nobles, who deceived Madame de renard into writing a letter of accusation. In a rage, even wounded Mrs de renard in public. At the public trial, he predicted that he, a "countryman who resisted humble fate", would be severely punished, and sure enough, he was guillotined on the same day. Julien is a typical image of the repressed petty bourgeoisie youth in the restoration era. His resistance stems from social repression and personal ambition to climb up, so he shows compromise and vacillation in the resistance. The novel profoundly reflects the reality of French society in the 1930s from 65438 to 2009 by portraying typical characters in typical environments.
