COMICS JOURNAL 19: View Literature with Marxist Lens
During the 1930s, many people were influenced by Karl Marx's sociological approach (Marxism), which stated that the society and the superstructure such as culture and art are all generated by the base and material conditions, and different classes are formed inevitably according to their socialeconomic situations. The repressed lower (working) class will eventually overthrown the upper and middle class's capitalist regime and form a socialist country.
If we have to view the literature with Marxist lens, we may consider some issues that contributing to the formation of the writing such as the base, socialeconomic positions of the authors and characters, material relations with production, and distinguishing the oppressed group and how they used different methods, especially the violent ones, to make a big change (a revolution).
