How does Marin Preda's Moromeții show the changes in rural society before the war?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Through the family in which the father's authority weakens and the sons look for a life beyond the village
- Step 1: Ilie Moromete holds the family by authority and talk, but the sons want freedom and money. Step 2. As the economy changes, his authority erodes, which symbolises the end of an old rural order. Answer: the father's authority weakens and sons leave. Why not the others: the novel is set in a village and does not follow the army, merchants or priests.
