Résumé

london. The British capital was at a time when the population was separated between the haves and the have nots. The sole bridge was the relation of economic, financial and political subordination. There was no means by which the working-class could climb the social ladder; neither school nor money was effective.
Does the class system still exist? It seems that it is still in operation. But a difference has to be noticed: the upper-class had to mix up with some of the middle-class to survive due to a problem of reproduction and creation of heirs.
The city itself underwent this transformation: the poor districs became more and more expensive, and their inhabitants were evicted to the suburbs. london became the place to make money and one’s dream come true.
Still, london is said to be ambivalent. But what does it mean?
ambivalence:
Ø conflict of ideas or attitudes; presence of two opposing ideas, attitudes or emotions at the same time;
Ø a feeling of uncertainty about something due to a mental conflict;
How could it be applied to london?

The analysis of woody allen’s movie match point (2005) should illuminate the meaning of ambivalence, which could then be transposed to london.
