Funny... the setting is just the setting, it is what inside the two personas that matters, and their feelings are not particular to their classes, they are common to the class called mankind.When you go ga-ga over a film showing the life of the poor and disprivileged... you never comment that their emotions, pains, suffering, joy, love, etc are unque that that underclass and therefore has no bearing on how you, presumably a middle class guy, live.
Emotional and physical sufferings stip people of their class. Audrey and Jackie suffered before their death just like a coctail waitress does, and the fact they came from upper class does not make their pain any less palpable.
