Marxist criticism, rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, examines literature as a product of historical materialism and ideological structures. “It contends that texts reflect, reinforce, and sometimes challenge the dominant ideologies of their time, thereby shaping and being shaped by class relations “(Eagleton 1976). Marxist critics analyze how economic conditions influence literary themes, character interactions, and narrative structures, asserting that literature is never created in isolation but is deeply embedded within the socioeconomic framework of its historical moment.
