Since the formation of Marxist ideology, many interpretations of it have arisen. They differ mostly in how to achieve their shared primary goal: a revolutionary uprising that would put an end to class struggle and ultimately bring about complete equality. Another characteristic these interpretations share is that they are all based on the theories of Karl Marx, specifically those presented in his work, The Communist Manifesto.

It is not uncommon for cathedrals in the Byzantine Empire to be used as status of prosperity and power, rather than being solely places of worship. San Vitale is known for the incredible mosaics that create a focus on Justinian, Theodora, and other political figures which make it more of a glorification of the emperor than a religious building. How much decadence and lavishness is acceptable before the focus of this church becomes more about paying respects to the people in power in the time it…

for the benefit of the worker, but as the texts I analyse further down show, this is not always the case.

In effect this essay will be a Marxist reading of The Tempest, paying close attention to the way social class works to exploit the members lower down . By analysing these two texts and using literary…

In The Communist Manifesto Marx and Engels argue that “These labourers, who must sell themselves piecemeal, are a commodity” (Marx and Engels 18). Respectively, a working person, according to them, becomes a commodity once they start selling their work and compete with other laborers for the buyer. By its definition, a commodity is an inanimate noun and usually applied to objects that are for sale. Therefore, the comparison of a human being to a commodity means the deprivation of one of their…

Douglass once said- “Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.” In Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 knowledge is taken away from society through censorship. Throughout the book the main character is Montag, who collects books and knowledge soon he is forced to leave and he meets a group of intellectuals whose leader is Granger who was forced to leave for having books. We are still trying to prove the propriety of Grangers actions. Although Granger was risking his life he saw fit to help Montag, who is…
