Looking through the Marxist Lens.

The Marxist lens, a lens that you can fully utilize to see the characters’ response to their environment, their peers, and how they see the authority over them. You can do a lot with the Marxist lens as it gives you a different way to see the text, see the character’s development due to their upbringing and their environment. It has been always interesting to me to see if a character would be different if they grew up in a much different socio-economic environment. It’s always been interesting to me to see what can happen with someone’s upbringing in regards to their peers in different classes, upper, lower, middle, and working. This way, you get to see how they treat others, if they are selfless or selfish, and what their own agenda and goals are. When looking through a Marxist lens, you get to see many different examples of economic and political oppression, and how the characters may or may not know.
