الملخص الإنجليزي

This thesis deals with different cases of upward social mobility in selected English and American literary works.

It is an attempt to analyze and study the concept of upward social mobility as a social phenomenon that is a recurrent theme in literature.

This is done by scrutinizing different upstart characters in the selected works, and by shedding light on their experience in their new environment.

The main aim of this study is to refute the possibility of upward social mobility, and to show the extreme difficulty the upstarts face when they seem to rise in the world.

This study attempts to prove that upward social mobility is in its core sense a change that doesn’t exceed appearances.

The study pursues an analytical approach in exploring the theme of upward mobility in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, F.

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, and in Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and Arms and the Man.
