Alright,
so what have you noticed in the first four

PRESENTATION

Very good! What do we mean by social Social injustice refers to wrongful

actions against individuals within

society.

Correct! Also, Social Injustice means the

unequal treatment of a group of people
within a society, which results in one group
being at a disadvantage.

Now, how about the last picture. You said

Sir that is a picture of Karl Marx.
this is Karl Marx. Any idea about him?
Have you studied or heard about him in

Economics and Filipino subjects. He
developed the social and economic
theory of Marxism.

Marxism is a social, economic and

Let us first define Marxism in general.
political philosophy that analyses the
impact of the ruling class on the
laborers, leading to uneven
distribution of wealth and privileges
in the society. It stimulates the
workers to protest the injustice.

In addition, there are two main divisions in

our society or the Capitalist society
according to Karl Marx. First is the
Bourgeoisie and the Proletariats. To know
the difference between the two, I have here
a picture.

The kings, the priests, the soldiers,

and the rich people.
Now, who do you think are considered the
Bourgeoisie?
Correct! They are considered the
oppressed.
Now, based on the picture, are they treated
fairly or equally? Do they enjoy what the
proletariats have?
Is there inequality? Is there injustice?
Glory?
No, Sir!
Yes Sir, because the workers are
providing the bourgeoisie products,
work force, and money but they are
not given good compensation as
shown in the picture.

Excellent! Now, that is the very core of

Marxism as a theory. We focus on social
injustice between the Bourgeoisie and the
Proletariats. Now, let us see Marxism in the
lenses of literature.

Discussion
In literature, Marxist criticism focuses on Sir, we focus on the social injustices
class struggle, especially on the done by the Bourgeoisie to the
oppression of the proletariat (the have- Proletariats.
nots) by the bourgeoisie (the haves). So
now, what do we look into when we read a
text and analyze it using Marxist literary
approach?

Very good, We also aim to answer the

following questions:
 What role does social class play in the
work?

 How do characters overcome
oppression?

 What does the work say about
oppression; or are social conflicts
ignored or blamed elsewhere?

 Does the work propose some form of
utopian vision as a solution to the
problems encountered in the work?

Any questions class about the Marxist

by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that

the 19th century. Les Miserables has been
popularized through numerous adaptations
for film, television, and the stage, including

class struggle in a given text. It
reads the text as

struggle.

Now, what do you think is the
most important value to consider fighting
the
oppression of the working classes?
Compassion is important in
situations of oppression because it
enables individuals to understand
and empathize with the experiences
of those who are being oppressed.

I, Too (1926) – Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
