Abstract

The present paper describes and analyzes the mood of anger in John Braine’s Room at the Top. The novel shows that the Welfare State fails to turn Britain into a true democratic country in the fifties, since the rich men have continued to rule the country. The deep-rooted rigid social class discrimination remains a force hindering the new working class citizens from achieving themselves. The Welfare State ensures full employment for the working class population. Still, there is an atmosphere of poverty and injustice. Room at the Top is a realistic novel; it reproduces an authentic picture reflecting the disturbances that have prevailed in post-war II Britain.
