Marxism as a movement founded by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels is one of the most powerful movements in the human history. It was responsible for many revolutions throughout the world and it still continues to be a dominant political force all over the world in different forms. According to Marx,human history is the history of class struggles and materialism is the ultimate driving force for all the relationships in the society. For him,human society has evolved through different stages.The apparently natural political evolution involved feudalism leading to bourgeois capitalism leading to socialism and eventually to utopian communism.According to Marxist,literature reflects those social institutions out of which it emerges;it reflects class struggle and materialism.So Marxist generally view literature not as works created with accordance with time less artistic criteria,but as the products of the economic and ideological factors specific to that era.Therefore ,writer’s position in society has an important bearing on what is written by him/her(Barry 152).
