Why I chose Marxist Lens

I originally was really interested in the race and culture lens but I wanted to challenge myself a bit more. I chose Marxist lens because in some ways it still incorporates race and culture but also brings more ideas when reading a story. I have studied and passed the critical lenses playlist so i’m fairly if not really familiar with the Marxist lens. I believe that I would be great in identifying some of the power struggles that characters faced during the timeline. Some other lenses that I was considering on doing was the race and culture lens because it looked really interesting especially when reading beloved which takes place during a really racist time. I’m hoping that by the end of this project I would have a new reading skill that involves being able to interpret a reading from a marxist lens.
