In chapter three, we take a look at the different social classes in Flatland. Women are straight lines, while men vary in different shapes according to their social class. Lower class and military are triangles with two equal sides, and a base of an inch. Middle class are equilateral triangles. As we go up in wealth, the more sides are added. There are sometimes pentagons, hexagons, and sometimes even octagons. When a person becomes so rich, that the angles become indistinguishable, they become a circle and obtain priestly order. Offspring are added an angle every generation
