Abstract
Sorokin coined the idea of Social space to determine the social status of a person. This theme is useful in analyzing the relative position of a person in one's group and one's horizontical or vertical movement within and to other groups. Novel is a symbolic space, which makes possible for writers to construct the relative social status of characters. The position given to a character and his/her mobility may be studied in light of Sorokin's ideas. It helps us in understanding the role of economy in achieving the agency implied by the social mobility.
