Hi! I'm going to quote some textev on Wei Wuxian's class issues. I'm focusing on the Poisons arc, since there we get the most of it.
Let's start by defining class issues. Here, by "class issues" I mean that his self-esteem and way of interacting with others, especially Jiang Cheng, are significantly affected by the fact that his father was a servant. I am not arguing that Wei Wuxian consciously thinks of himself as a Jiang sect servant. Instead, the effect is more subtle.
三毒: The arc is called "Sandu", like Jiang Cheng's sword. (K translates it here to "Poisons".) The Three Poisons the arc title refers to are greed, anger, and ignorance. The greed is mostly from the Wen sect, the anger universal, but the ignorance is the interesting point.
The setting: Wei Wuxian is 17. The Wen sect is out to get him, but he hasn't realized that yet. This is the last flush of his childhood.
