Marxist Criticism

Marxist criticism is an analytical framework that explores literature and cultural products through the lens of class struggle and economic power. It examines how social class affects characters, narratives, and themes, often highlighting issues of oppression, capitalism, and ideology. By critiquing how texts reflect or challenge societal structures, Marxist critics seek to uncover hidden inequalities and the influence of economic factors on human relationships and societal norms. This approach encourages readers to consider how literature both shapes and is shaped by the broader context of social and economic conditions.
