The Marxist Literary Criticism

Marxist Literary Criticism analyzes literature through the lens of social and economic structures, emphasizing how power, class, and material conditions influence texts. It explores how literature reflects, reinforces, or challenges systems of inequality, often highlighting issues of class struggle, capitalism, and oppression. The approach seeks to uncover the ways in which economic forces shape characters, narratives, and themes, revealing underlying social messages and encouraging critical awareness of societal structures. Ultimately, it views literature as both a product and a potential tool for social change, emphasizing the importance of understanding the financial and class contexts behind literary works.
