A marxist approach judges all the modern literature in relation to its political effect; if it supports or refute certain structures, and connects it to all past literature in relation to its social setting. Marxist focus on the social forces that shape all people and culture like, education, jobs and class. With analysis a Marxist critic seek to reveal all the obvious and inferred assumptions of the writer and its relation to a certain time with its issues of social and economic justice.
Marxist critics believe…
- That literature is a reflection of its social, political and cultural setting; and they focus on the social forces that shape all people and culture like, education, jobs and class
- That all literature is essentially political because it either challenges or supports economic oppression
- Literature possesses for promoting a critical consciousness of culture
