帕布莉卡尽管我生活在他们之中，我也希望并相信他们不会讨厌我，但是我依旧无法融入他们，他们甚至比我更清楚这一点。无论你多么喜欢他们，无论你觉得他们的对话多么有趣，那被诅咒的阶级差异总是横亘在彼此的眼前，就像童话里公主床垫下的那颗豌豆。这并非是一个讨厌或反感的问题，这仅仅是一个出身不同的差别，但足以令真正的亲密接触变成不可能。
But though I was among them, and I hope and trust they did not find me a nuisance, I was not one of them, and they knew it even better than I did. However much you like them, however interesting you find their conversation, there is always that accursed itch of class-difference, like the pea under the princess’s mattress. It is not a question of dislike or distaste, only of difference, but it is enough to make real intimacy impossible.
——乔治·奥威尔（George Orwell）《通往威根码头之路（The Road to Wigan Pier）》
