Oh yes and if this is Aral-era or after, the change-from-within forces of reform headdesking and going "Please, please don't do anything public and illegal enough that you force us to let them lock you up. Please? Oh, right, idealistic students. God DAMN it."
I'm pondering how the social classes map out -- would it just be (Vor)courfeyrac, and the others rich non-aristocrats? (Can you imagine a secretly anti-monarchist Courfeyrac hanging out socially with Ivan?? I don't actually know that they'd move in the same circles, but I'm starry-eyed at the thought anyway.)
The whole "I have no objection to him as a person, and I think he's trying to do well, but the system is inherently tyrannical and flawed!" thing transfers really well to attitudes about Gregor, too.
