In this paper we will make links between the literature of Honoré de Balzac’s Memoirs of Two Young Wives (1841) and the work of Norbert Elias’ The Civilizing Process (1939). We reflect on behavioral changes in social relations between the Sword nobility and the Toge Nobility in French society of the early nineteenth century. Through the social-historical method we will highlight some aspects of female education required at this time. Because of these reflections on the changes in social behavior, the concept of ‘humanization’ present in Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics and in the work of Antonio Candido, Literature and Society: Studies theory and literary history, become essential to our approach, since we understand that social changes occur in history as derivations of people’s actions.
