So the only purpose is to make money as much as possible without heart of charity and humanity. The major role in Eugenie Grandet, the old Grandet reflects phenomenon in modern China society. From a great amount of information, some people think that Chinese people are obsessive with money very much, and they are the lovers of money. For earning money, they break the law.
