The Wrapped Golf Ball: A Marxist Literary Criticism

Philosopher Carl Marx once said "human consciousness determines their existence and, to the contrary, their social presence determines their consciousness" (Marx). Marx believes that the social environment will determine human values ​​and beliefs. Therefore, in his short story "Winter Dream" F. Scott Fitzgerald supports this Marxist theory and reveals the suppression of proletariat's bourgeois ideology. Starting with the dream of drawing proletariat, then the inappropriate goal of his success and ultimately the loss of individual identity

Marxist literary criticism is a loose term explaining literary criticism based on socialist and dialectical theory. Criticism of Marxists regards literary works as reflecting the social system of their origins. (Clarification: In fact, most Marxist critics are assigned to the early era of Marxist literary criticism in chronological order, and they support the so-called "vulgar Marxism." The economic Directory of buildings determined by the base So the text of literature is the economic foundation of all social systems, not the reflection of the social system from which it is derived, but rather the social relationship of humans rather than the final analysis Then, it is determined by the economic foundation.)

Marxist literary criticism is used to explain literary criticism influenced by Marxist philosophy. Major supporters of 20th century Marxist theory are also literary critics. These include GeorgeLukács, Terry Eagleton, and Raymond Williams. Marxist theory has different goals. One of its simplest goals is to evaluate the political "tendency" of literary works literally and to judge whether the literary form is progressive. According to the Marxist law system, religious beliefs and cultural frameworks are determined by social and economic circumstances. Therefore, art should truly express these conditions and should search better. In today's consumer society, the popularity of Marxist aesthetics has declined, but it continues raising the question of responsibility.

In my opinion, the three main forms adopted by literary criticism of Marxism or the form of intervention began with early studies, especially Adorno, Benjamin, Bloch, Lucac since the 1920s. . Although these patterns of Marxist criticism have changed contents, the form has changed - their practice and conditions of implementation have changed but this fact is not always reflected in a new practice of Marxist criticism . These practices make use of old arguments about the relationship between literary forms and social forms, for example, even though the former is not that important, the latter being reworked with new power and historical circumstances. I hope these three models will help us to show us the position of today's Marxist literary criticism and possible things.
