The past week was dedicated to non other than the Marxist theory and as well Bakhtin and the beliefs that there are multiple voices in one text. As we continue to go further into the semester Its getting a tad difficult to keep up with all the authors and their theories. Maybe its in correlation with my independent study class since we have so many pieces and authors in that class as well. The Marxist theory is a legit theory because it is one that actually divides society into 2 different class which is exactly how the world is. There are like he suggest haves and have nots or the proletariat’s and the bourgeoisie’s. This does exists amongst peoples actions and reactions especially in writing. To break it down further their lifestyle have affects on their writings and how they are perceived. This is where the words of George Lucas show true in that literature reflects the class situation if it’s time and author. Also where Louis Althusser states that society reflects lit and vice versus. Writing about this shouldn’t cause me to much conflict but only time will tell. I like the Marxist theory because its not so complex, it still however can throw you for a loop but what theory doesn’t?
